enve aero stem install
Moderator: robbosmans
Anyone put one of these on their bike? I am looking at instructions but they are not convincing me as correct if I cut 2mm down from mark of top of stem (marking at front of stem)then insert the compression plug the back edge of this plug is 2mm above the stem negating any room for preloading with top cap? I am think I should mark the stem 3mm down measured from back of stem so when compression plug is installed there is still 1mm of space for preloading. The Enve stem has a insert that can be switched around to give different angle of stem. I have attached a diagramme of what I am thinking is correct. It hopefully explains
how my brain is functioning! (badly possibly) Gawd knows but don't want to cut the steerer unless I am sure!Visit starbike.com Online Retailer for HighEnd cycling components

I hope this helps, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTVowwKnNKs
Looking at the video, you cut 2mm below the lowest point on the steerer. This will be either at the front or rear of the steerer depending on where you have the shim orientated.

Aye I've cut carbon stems before so have all the tools. have sent messages to Enve support but not heard back yet but cutting 2mm down from the lowest point of the angle of the insert makes sense so the compression plug is just flush to the back when inserted Even thinking 2.5mm or 3mm to give plenty of room for pre-load
I have one of these stems ready to install on a new build in the future, it hadn't occurred to me about the cut mark depending on the shim used; thanks for the timely post.
I watched the video, just to be clear, he marked the lowest point when the shim inserted, marked again 2mm below this, and cut "straight" along this lower mark. This results in a very slightly lower point at back or front depending on shim used? (just how my brain works!). Or do you cut along the same angle that the shim makes?

Let me know what Enve say, or what you do?

You should be able to mount the stem with spacers on top of the stem to!?
Maybe not pretty, but it ough to be ok, or?

Bump up, isn't it possible to keep steerer even if it isn't recommended?
