As some of you might have seen i was looking for different stems to mount when I change my tires next time. I posted my question in the “wanted” section.
As a good habit I check my tire pressure every sunday evening, and walk around the bike to see what’s going on. Yesterday I saw there was only about 1 Bar left in the front, when investigating I found a torn rubber stem! Apparently a rubber 90 degree moves a lot due to centrifugal force. I already wanted to change them because I never trusted it completely but didn’t get to it.
Just a warning for others who might run the same stems.
