Apologies I only posted that picture as a reference. Please see attached for a picture of the design and relevant dimensions. Both stem head and handle bars are made of stainless steel. I agree that what you are describing is most likely the problem but I need to prove the design first and am...
Cheers for the reply. Yes this is what I think is happening but I am being told it is the design... so I want to prove with maths that it works so I am looking to calculate the clamping force of 1 bolt versus 2 or 4.
Hi Folks
I am looking for some help in a calculation if possible.
I am looking at a bike design where the handlebars are clamped in place in the stem using only 1 bolt - see the picture attached or link below for an example...
Hey Folks looking forward to taking part in here! I am a design engineer with a lot of medical device experience and currently working in a bike company.
