These are the rhm shape and the levers were pulled up as high as was possible to get them before the bars started to flare out for the aero top. I couldn't get on with the shape at all and couldn't get the lever hoods high enough in conjunction with a nice position for the flat tops, they were always angled up instead of aero flat, and the actual shape of the curve of the handlebar drop just didn't suit me. Just found an old picture with the superzero bars fitted. I'm unsure with the Thomson stem as it only has 2 fixing bolts on the front.Īny thoughts on what would look best, feedback on the Thomson stem and any other options greatly appreciated.

The other reason for going with this is that there is a Thomson elite seatpost fitted as that was the only one I could find in 25mm dia after the original Look ergopost started to split. Deda superleggera stem to match the bars and with it being a round stem wouldn't look so angled and steep? The other option is a Thomson X2 in 17 degree size which would give me a horizontal stem matching the top tube. As they don't then I'm open to people's opinions. If deda did a 73 (or -17 however you measure it) stem then I would immediately buy that. In relation to what I'm asking I think this bike would look far better with a shallower angled stem. Both are now advertised as 82 degree stems. So I'm wondering in the first instance were the older versions of the zero 100 (about 7 or 8 years old I'm guessing on this one) a different angle as this is not the same as the newer superzero. It is a little deceptive in that from the side profile the superzero stem does become fatter as it approaches the handlebar clamp (which exaggerates the angle) but they are definitely not the same angle when you compare the print which follows the centre line of the stem.

More on that in a moment.īased on how it seemed to look I decided to put both stems next to each other on the same tube to compare. So I decided to experiment a bit and put the zero 100 stem back on and it definitely looks shallower. It's the angle of it on this bike more than anything else.Įver since fitting it the angle has always looked much steeper than the previous zero 100 I had on before (this is a 110mm stem whereas the superzero is 120). Having got all this rewired and taped up the end result is I still don't like the superzero stem. I ultimately disliked them so much I've recently changed the bars back to the original Deda Newton deep. 18 months ago I changed the bars/stem on my winter bike to deda superzero with a view to my subsequent C60 having them on as well. I'm totally undecided which way to go on this but what I do know is I don't like what I've got.
