can’t remember the name of it but one of those spring things you hung off the rear dropout to put more tension on the rear mech

Girvin flex stems

Oh hells yes. Doesn’t really do anything, until the elastomer gets slack, which happens pretty much instantly. Then, still doesn’t do anything useful, but does helpfully disconnect the bars from the bike. Oh and all capped off with some nice sharp edges on the back with which to bifurcate your nuts.

I actually quite liked my Girvin Flex stem.

My Hite Rite on the other hand was useless because I was(and still am)too light to compress it.

Can you guess what bits I’ve been having problems with lately!
