Good enough for who its for… me
My silver stem pairs beautifully with the silver Jones Loop Bar on my LWB. I now have Velo-Orange stems on four of the five bikes in this household. So far, so good, in terms of clamping the handlebar and reliability. These stems are extremely light and look dainty, but they're strong!
Perfect!!
Perfect!!! Exactly what I needed on my old Paramount with touring bars.
I took a chance on these, and they have become one of my favorites. I like the upright position , but I wrapped the center section with bar tape and I can also get into a more tucked position when need/want to.
The 108mm French threaded bottom bracket works out great for a 1x11 chain line using an old school Dura-Ace Dyna-drive crankset on a 1971 Motobecane Le Champion frameset that is French threaded also. With 250 plus miles so far, it shifts super, and runs smooth!
Thing rips. Has some good height capabilities. Real slick.
Totally rad brake calipers. They shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I'm excited to yank the hydro calipers off of my bike and get these installed. I've tried out Growtac Equals on another bike, and the braking was great, nothing lost vs hydraulic brakes, but field serviceability gained!
Gotta say, working as advertised. Gold coated all my multitudes of surface rust and stuff I couldn’t even see. Let’s see if it stays.
High quality t-shirt that keeps shape. Not cheap product. Highly recommend
Looked for bars to convert a bicycle frame that was a Cyclocross bike into a now usable commuter and fun bike. Installed bar in the position to get the bars higher, so a suggestion would be to engrave VO logo as a mirror image so when bars are flipped, the logo still makes sense. But that is purely cosmetic. Added Guidonnet style brake levers, making the bars the highlight of this bike! Thanks VO!
I installed these on my 20” folding bike and they were an easy install. The hardest part of the install was trimming the stays to length. All the parts were included and no rattling which is great. Definitely recommend.
These are far and away the best readily available kickstands one can buy. The most recent pair I purchased are on our Bike Friday NWT Silks. Perfect bolt on to the factory kickstand plate and don’t interfere with the folding of the bikes. The first one of these I purchased was used on a Priority Coast set up with a front mounted kid seat. Standing straight up on this stand, loading the child is much better than a traditional kickstand. Again, bolted right on to the factory kickstand plate. Great design and the leg length adjustment allowed this to work on both big wheel and small wheel bikes very easily.
Right length for a big BMX where you would cruise! Nice construction!
This is an excellent stem. Looks great, and as far as I’m aware the only option on the market that allows you to run 31.8mm bars with a quill (adapters aside) and easy to disassemble without pounding out the wedge because it has a faceplate. This also means you don’t need a torque wrench when breaking down into a flight case, I could go on. Maybe it’s a hair on the heavy side, but it’s made out of steel so you’re getting rigidity and sturdiness, and unless you’re building a weight weenie feels like a good trade off. Also gives you a healthy amount of stack height, which gives you a more comfortable position than probably 99% of vintage quills out there. Some folks have said too long but I disagree. I have it at full extension and it’s a quite sensible position. Unless you absolutely need the stem slammed for your fit, this is what you want. Building a quill stem like this is such a no brainer I can’t believe there isn’t another one out there like it.
