Can this stem be used on a carbon fiber steerer tube ... Has anyone tried? Thank you.

I have a carbon fiber fork and used I but needed a spcialized internal expander so the 8mm socket head cap bolt would screw into.

As long as the stem is the same outer diameter of 1.25 inch, I don't seem why not. I have it on a alloy stem and works very well.

Yes you can , you need a torque wrench and tight the bolts no more than 5 Nm.

I had to remove a 5mm spacer to get it to fit properly. That is the same as the 490 degree Bontrager stem which I suspect is made by the same place. Having to drop the stem this additional 5mm somewhat negates the additional rise, but not completely.

The Web site should be very easy - type in Cascade Miuntain Tech and the company should come up on Google. To answer your question, if the tips need replacing, you may have destroyed the integrity of the carbon fiber. In that case forget about any replacement. Buy new ones from Amazon or go to Costco

I couldn't get the angled valve stem into the skuut wheel. Maybe if you cut out a little more wood in the wheel. That's too bad, since the straight stem tubes are so hard to get a pump to.

Irene, I did not see any mounting holes to stem mount the one I installed. Depending on how you want to try and stem mount this I'm not real sure it's strong enough to support itself. The metal is fairly thin and twists very easily. There would probably be room to put a thin piece of wood inside to strengthen it if your handy. Another option may be to consider chain mounting it if that works for you. Feel free to email me if you want pictures of what mine looks like close up or if you have more specific questions. jay.spooky2@gmail.com. Dimoe

I have this stem on my trail bike and have had no problems. Seems real sturdy, but I myself don't put a lot of weight on it. Kalloy makes a very good product.

The short answer is no! I tried it and with the valve stem being made for a center stem the tire cut the stem after a short time of use.

The problem is that their is no adapter fitting--the piece that fits over the center stem. If you have this piece yes--if not, NO.

Yes I believe so. I ordered a replacement stem for my daughter from Amazon for a food processor we bought at the thrift store. It was an older model and the stem works perfectly.

Danilo, Thanks for reaching out to us! That fork has a straight 1 1/8" steer tube. If you have any other questions please let us know. Thanks again. Sincerely, Mike Eary Cambria Bicycle Outfitter

Yes you can push it on a standard stem but it trys to hang a little bit when takeing it off if it's not pulled off straight but to me that's a good thing because it kinda locks itself on so you don't have to kept a lot of pressure on the stem while filling the tire with air. Milton makes very good products that I've seen. Good luck to you. Thanks BK

No. It will fit standard road bike 1 1/8" threadless steerer. The steerer sleeve on the stem is not adjustable nor does it allow for shims, as it does for the handlebar sleeve.

Hi, the entire thing, steering tube and all is made of carbon. Also, make sure that the amount of 'rake' to the fork, i.e. the amount of bend in it, matches your existing one fairly closely, so that the wheel isn't too close to the down tube. Although this problem might be unique to my application--a mid-racer recumbent.Allen is right, you will need the expanding tube plug to go into the end of it. It inserts then expands as you tighten it with an allen wrench, to grip the inside of the steerer tube. Although I notice that I can't really reduce my steering play by tightning it, as you can with an all steel setup. Hi, the entire thing, steering tube and all is made of carbon.

I think you are correct that it would be called a stem extender. That's what it does.

You are right. Is for 1 1/8 steerer tube. Its a pretty sturdy product. Lots of adjustment. Be sure to spray a little wd 40 where the adjustment pivot is so it doesn't creak.

If you can fit it on your spin bike it would probably work fine. It doesn't have a stem.

Yes you can. However the steerer tube of the forks will be too long for the head tube. Personally I like my stems slammed. With no spacers. I always cut my steerer tubes down. But if you don't mind using a small amount of spacers you should have no problems.
