Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Integrated Handlebar
« on: August 25, 2021, 04:00:23 AM »@ultreia - sorry to take this a slightly different direction: do you have recommendations for decent stems that allow for integrated cabling? The FSA ACR and Deda stems seem mega heavy. The ARC8 stem I couldn't find data on, nor for sale. I like the idea of having a separate stem and bar for travel, adjustability, and repairs, but little sense of stem options at the moment.
Thanks!
The thing is that ACR8 stem + handlebar is a very good solution. In my case I need a new stem 110, I have the 100 size and it weights 127g with clamps and bolts. I think it is not so heavy but also no light. I would say that changing the bolts, you could get a better weight (using Ti bolts... but I didn´t try). The solution is "perfect" you could use wathever handlebar you want and the stem will work with it.
For total internal you need an ACR handlebar (holes is bigger and you could have hydraulic hoses + other cables, example FSA ACR handlebars), for di2 internal only PRO handlebars with small hole for DI2 cable.
See how it looks with a normal handlebar without holes, pretty clean!
