Shown here in a really long 120mm size, Answer’s new forged alloy XC stem. It’ll be available June 1 in black and white for $85 and come in 70, 90, 100, 110 and 120 lengths. For some reason, my photo of it on a scale disappeared, so not sure of the weight, but it felt in line with other brands’ alloy offerings. More pics of this, plus Sun-Ringle’s new Punch dirt jump wheels with graphics to match their Circus DJ fork after the break…
Hayes Bicycle Group (Answer, Manitou, Hayes, Sun-Ringle) showed hometown pride by bringing several Milwaukee Bicycle Co. frames to display their products. At left, the front cap of the new XC stem. At right, a different stem, but that’s the white color the new one will come in.
We saw these wheels naked at Interbike, and now they’ve finalized graphics that keep with the big top theme. Click the link for specs and info on them.
