Nitto v-4 gravel road chromo stem

Rather unique - I was going to say "Pretty unique", but decided against it.

Reminds me of the old forged "slingshot" style mtb stems.

I like it.

I may be not seeing it right, but it looks like the FARR comes with a stress riser and weakened section where you don’t want it.

Have a version of the Nitto on my tandem — works fine, but only a particular Nitto bar fits it, AFAIK.

The Farr stem is kinda dumb - they needed to link the two clamp areas underneath, so there's no possibility of centrally-mounting any accessories in the gap.



If you're gonna Bullmoose, it seems smartest to go for an integrated bar+stem.

Linking them is smart. How about a stem cap mount for your doohickey?

Looks like a new clamp and you can get a Doohickey mount for MrB!
