You can see it has a small lip. Printed/molded like that.

If you want it thinner you can always sand it down a few millimeters and make it a slim fit.

Any idea where these might be available in Europe?
Very soon if there is a FarSports connection ...

There is some cooperating between Farsports and EXS, which I'm not allowed to tell.

About the Paypal account: The commercial Paypal account of EXS was initially registered with Farsports' license to deal with the international payments, but later EXS got its own license from the Administration, so EXS started a new Paypal account and the old account was transfered to Farsports. Apperantly now Farsports is using the old EXS account and forgot to change the name/avator image.

Thanks for the info anyway. Whatever that cooperation is, would that improve the EXS availability in Europe in a foreseeable future? :wink:

Now if I hadn't bought stuff from Farsports already back in 2014, this story alone would make me rethink about how actually these companies operate out there in the East :D

Unfortunately not related to the availability. The availabiltiy largely depends on the factory and the brainless Zero-Covid policy. The factory give piority to big names' orders, especially when EXS has a complex design and QC. I've been waiting long for the classic bend Aerover :unbelievable:

Hmm is the EXS bars made in a random factory together with several other different brands and products?
I thought what made EXS unique was the monocoque design and manufacturing process. Made in small scale, by hand by a single dude. How can customers know that quality is up to standard if it is made mass production in a factory where they usually does not do monocoque production ?

Are you being ironic or serious? You can't make products like that in a garden shed ...

reducer sleeve, is this a 1/4 stem and not the usual 1 1/8 ?

Also, how did you order yours and how much did it end up costing?
