As the title, I need a cheap 0 degree stem for the winter road bike.
Something like the Easton EA90 but cheaper...
Any recommendations
Anything from Planet X?
The Deda Zero ones are brilliant for the money, not sure if they do a 0°...
Ha Shibboleth my fellow Dolan Preffisio owner!
How are you finding yours? Trying fine tune my front end as the head tube is a bit lower than I'm used to!
Hmmm I don't think the Zero comes in a '0'.
a stem is a stem - especially cheap ones.
I've been getting some good miles in on mine, and you d'you know something, I frickin love it!
I've got a 1994 8-speed Shimano 600 STI groupset on it and it's just a joy. Such a comfy, relaxed bike to ride - don't know if that's down to the wheelset (open pros on 600 hubs) but I actually look forward to riding it...
I was thinking about putting the 10speed stuff/ultegra wheels off my race bike now that I've upgraded it to a Cervélo, but truth is, I enjoy using the 8-speed too much to retire it. The quality of those early STI groups is FAR superior to anything they make now. Quite a bit heavier, but such light quality-feeling shifting and braking, and that wider chain copes with winter road crap a lot better...
I'm actually going to feel a bit of sadness when I pack my little Dolan away for the summer!
i've got a couple of 110mm stems in my clearout

I've got a little used ea90 you can have cheap, mail in my profile if you're interested. It is very light
Ta lads. Am going to place around with spacers/flipped stem etc before I take the plunge.
Obviously aesthetics is key in this decision....
