I'd think that a seat post clamp would work as well as a stem for that function...Dr. Tankenstein said:Cool idea, I have very little experience with threadless setups. But, if you're running the stems in the forks, how will you secure the steer tube? Doesn't the stem typically 'pull it all together'?

bean said:I've always liked the two stem/split bar idea after seeing it a few years ago. European builders have been using this stem system for years. Have seen it on a number of Basman and scratch built bikes using triple trees. I've even seen pics of custom motorcycles using MTB stems and split bars.
