    love it, nice piece of oldschool tech.
    i wanna add, after one close encounter i became very careful when fiddling with anything that contains a spring. safety goggles are a must for me now.

      oh yes! thats a good warning for sure - safety number 1, cheers!

      I tore the web between thumb and index finger releasing a spring that still had tension on it. Healed a lot quicker than I expected.

    I remember these back in the day. Solid construction! I thought there was a damper unit in addition to the spring. I guess not.

      oh yeah i think some of them had that, like a bushing or something. i looked online at other models of this stem, but yeah they dont have the bushing either. musta been girvin or something

    • @garysprojects
      @garysprojects  5 месяцев назад +1

      cheers my dude! its soft ride brand but not sure when it was released, i think probably mid 90s maybe when they were experimenting with suspension. hahahah that sounds like a fun bike!
