the combination of ti and shim is what I like about mine, but some will hate. It absorbs a lot and flexes some. If you curl over 100, it might not be for you.
Yup, its the 31.8mm shim. To the dude complaining about using shims I completely disagree. I have 8+ spare stems in my parts box, and the Seven (with its crappy shims) is the only one that works with all of them.
Thanks all for the input. I have spoken to Seven some more and taken all the advice on board and I think I might have to pull the trigger on an 11degree 26" bar. Will let you know how I go.
