It's a cool-looking stem that is priced right. I have three of them, two silver and one black. The stem looks dainty and is very light, so much so that I emailed Velo-Orange if it is suitable for mountain biking. Their answer is "yes." I highly recommend getting VO's thin spacers to pair with the stem. I bought two 5mm bronze spacers to give two of my bikes a personal touch. Unless you need a 35mm stem or shorter, there is no downside to this...other than my handlebar bag hiding this beauty!

these bars are super comfy, not so much sweep that I feel like I'm pulling up/back on them but just enough to make for a much nicer riding position. The bars had a little bit of extra polishing compount inside of the ends, when I asked support what it was their response was very timely and helpful.

I'm amazed that such a small and very simple accessory can stoke me so much! Leave it to the genius of Velo Orange to create a light mount which has totally changed my riding experience in such an amazing way. There is no other mount in my book. Thank you Velo Orange! Thank you for keeping the stoke alive!

Geez, remember leaning your nice lugged bike with big wide handlebars against a wall, tree, boulder, bush, etc? Those days are gone friend!

I have been using this stand for over two months and it’s been nothing but a joy to kick out while out on the trails, creekways and double track.

I can’t believe that it balances and holds my 30 pound Sam upright on even the most rocky, bump filled terrain!

Last but not least, I’m enjoying bicycle photography more than ever now that I can set the scene with my bike when I’m on an interesting or new route.

My bike hasn’t tipped over while I’m away from it once.

Stop depending on the closest solid object for a bike pit stop!

Cheers!

I replaced the 11 cm quill stem on my 1994 Litespeed Catalyst with a shorter 9 cm VO stem with 6 degree rise with a quill stem adapter for a more upright position. Very nice quality with a beautiful finish. My only regret is not getting a stem for 31.8 mm bars instead of my old 25.4 bars. It’s hard to find compact drop bars with a 25.4 mm clamp area. However, the new components serve the purpose for a shorter stack and reach. They complement the look of a vintage bicycle. For my 59 cm frame, there was room to lower the quill stem adapter quite a bit more than in the photo if needed.

perfect amount of sweep, and almost no rise. My only wish is that they came in an option with a shorter effective stem length.

A work of art

Works perfectly. Should have ordered extras.

Tanfastic bars. Converted my 2016 Disc Trucker from dirt drops and it’s a revelation. Comfy, cool and shiny. Great quality. Bought from ‘Fresh Tripe in the UK. 👍👍

The one and only black stainless cage I could find! Look great, one was slightly bent but the beauty of stainless is you can just bend it back.

I needed to split some SKS longboard front fenders on a lovely Tange front fork which did not have quite enough fork crown clearance for 38mm tires. These reinforcements allowed me to reinforce the holes I needed to drill to support the front piece from my front rack. Easy to use and really nice and stiff.

Fits great on my Soma Rufus with 20x2 inch tires. I needed three extra bolts that weren't included with the fenders: for the L bracket, for the crimp on bracket, and for the chain stay bridge attachment. The orange VO logo on the fenders matches the orange accents on the Rufus, that's nice.

Really happy with this purchase. I've wanted these lights for a while.

This diamond handlebar tape from Velo orange is super comfy and grippy. User friendly when installing it, even for someone like me that struggles with bar tape.

Fits on my Soma Rufus with tons of clearance for the disc brake rotors. I used the secondary bolt without the top kickstand clamp to attach it to the kickstand plate thats built into the frame.
