Product Story

Important Installation instructions:

Grease the stem faceplate mounting bolts, insert the handlebar, and tighten the bolts evenly (like car wheel lugnuts) using a torque wrench (we offer a good one specifically for this below if you need one) until reaching the recommended torque of 4 Newton Meters. Check that the gap between the faceplate and stem is even on the top and bottom of the stem. If it is not, loosen the bolts completely and start over. While standing stationary over the bike, bounce your body weight on the handlebar to check that it won’t slip. Some carbon bars can be extra slippery: if you encounter slippage, resist the urge to overtighten the faceplate bolts, and instead coat the handlebar where it is held by the stem with a liberal amount of friction paste and try again. Our faceplate has a HUGE amount of surface area, so your handlebars should NOT slip at 4nm. If you exceed the recommended torque, you could damage the handlebar, stem, or yourself. If you still encounter slippage or any other problems, resist the urge to tighten the faceplate bolts further, and instead contact us via the phone number at the bottom of this page, or visit a qualified bike shop.

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
@sklarbikes is stepping UP! We’ll raise the ante @sklarbikes is stepping UP! We’ll raise the ante with a free Boxcar stem and a pair of Klamper brakes to whoever wins this bike: 

“🚨RAFFLE ALERT🚨 
Things have been feeling pretty dire lately, so I’ve been trying to figure out a way to at least feel helpful. This seems like a fun way to do it: our very first raffle.

Up for grabs is one custom steel bike frame. That’s a $3600 retail value, and raffle tickets are just $25 each. The more you buy, the more chances you have to win. This is probably also a good time to announce that I have no plans to take custom frame orders for at least the next two years, so hop on now if you’d like this one!”

100% of the proceeds will be split between the @SusanWicklandFund and @PlannedParenthood

The Susan Wickland Fund helps provide access to abortions, health care, and sex education to those who need it in Montana. Planned Parenthood is a national public health provider that ensures all people have access to the care and resources they need to make informed decisions about their bodies, their lives, and their futures.

Please buy as many tickets as you like. I have no plans to offer any custom frames for sale for at least the next two years, so this may be your last chance for a while!

Tickets available on the “Shop” at Sklarbikes.com, link in story/bio.

Winner will be announced July 22.

Thanks for helping out!
Love,
Adam
