Re: SIGMA X in stock (and in my hands) [BMANX] [ In reply to ]

I wanted to better way to mount my Garmin if possible and to be honest I am too cheap to purchase a commercial offering so I thought I would see if I could do something myself. I was able to create one out of an old carbon extension that I had and it came out to 8g. I think that I could maybe tweak it a bit but so far it is working.

I do think that it would be cool if Nick would make the cover on the Sigma X longer out the front and with a built in Garmin mount. I do have to run my back with the back facing forward.

Here are a few pictures.

Hi, I recently installed a Sigma X stem in my Felt IA10.
I have ridden the bike indoors and there seems to be too much wobble when riding my base bar, and it is noticeable it comes from the stem. It did not happen with the Felt propietary stem, so I wonder if it was installed wrong or if it is normal.
I'm afraid of taking it outside if there is indeed a problem with the installation that might cause any accident.
I can take photos of the installation or a video of the wobble of needed.
Please let me know, thanks!

Mine is rock solid so chances are there's something wrong. Post the photos and vid.

Agreed
My first thought is that you haven't got the proper torque on the stem bolt/wedge. It's design requires much higher torque than a traditional style stem.

Ok, here you go. My tech did the fork headset and I just tightened the clamp as much as possible (I don't own a torque wrench) and it improved a bit, but check please the pics and video.
Thank you!

To me, it looks like the fork wasn't properly preloaded before the stem was installed.
If you were to grab the bike at the fork, could you 'wiggle' it relative to the frame?

If so, try:
Loosening the stem clamp from the fork steerer tube.
Tighten the stem cap to preload the fork and frame interface (you may need to add a small spacer here).
Re-tighten the stem clamp to the fork steerer tube.

This. And please buy a torque wrench.

No, there is no movement in the fork relative to the frame. I will redo the installation anyways just to double check.

Finally fixed, with the help of the TriRig team. It was the steerer cap. Crappy work by me and then by one mechanic, but then fixed by another.

I am selling the stem as I did not like the position, too aggresive for me at the moment.

If I were you, I’d keep the stem and look for compatible spacers, assuming that when you say “too aggressive”, you mean it’s too low.

I will keep the Felt one. I think it looks better, and I can use the money too. :)
