Product Description
The Revelo THINstem house-trains your bike, making it easy to fit inside, against a wall or in a hallway, without the handlebars taking up lots of space. The average bike takes up almost 15 square feet (5 ft x 3 ft). That’s considerable space indoors even in a large garage; In an apartment or cubicle, it’s massive–enough to send your precious bike outside. The Revelo THINstem changes everything. True to the original Flatbike mission of flattening your existing bike, this add-on stem pivots your handlebars 90 degrees in seconds with no tool, so your bike fits against a wall.
Product Features
GET 50% MORE FREE SPACE: The widest part of a bike is the handlebars, and this folding stem cuts it in half by swiveling the bars parallel to the bike quickly and efficiently..
KEEP YOUR BIKE SAFE: There is no safe way to lock up a bike outdoors. But a house-trained bike can come inside at home or office, keeping it safe from theft and rust.
KEEP YOUR BIKE ACCESSIBLE: A bike that slims down can fit near entrances--alongside the car, in the hallway, etc--where you are more likely to use it on the way our the door.
EASY TO INSTALL: Installs with a couple of standard hex wrenches. Just swap out your existing threadless stem to start saving space. (Before ordering, know the diameter of your handlebar at the stem).
Customer Reviews
Saves a lot of space in a tight garage situation.Very sturdy, no sloppiness or looseness when turning the handlebars. This makes living in a small studio apartment with a bicycle indoors so much easier! I also bought their removable pedals, and now my bike hides behind my blackout curtains and takes absolutely no space!Works as expected but overpriced. Cables do get in the way when folding/unfolding. The folding bar does hit into the protruding part of the stem and wears off the finish a bit. Design could be improved and lighter in weight. I had to add another headset spacer since my existing stem was a bit taller on the steerer tube. Overall, it turns the handlebar 90 degrees and allows for convenient storage in tight spaces.A well-made stem, with a simple but clever design. In order to rotate 90°, it's designed slightly taller than standard (which I appreciate). The concept of making a bike flat for storage in close quarters is more than intriguing -- it's an invention others will imitate.Thank you Thinstem! I have always had issues with storing and traveling with bikes. Most recently we purchased folding peddle assist bikes. How convent! Wrong, the handlebars are totally in the way when trying to load the bike. Thinstem solved the issue, now the handlebars fold to match the bike profile. Easy to install and easy to use.Stem keep loosening up. Clamp stretches. Gonna try some shims to get the adjustment back. Pricey for having to work on it.Debated to purchase the cheaper version of this (off brand), but reviews said you got what you paid for and can't be risking a faulty stem. With that said, I got the THINstem brand and am happy with my decision.Feels nice and sturdy when locked and has a fine tuning screw to adjust tightness. Easy design for folding or unfolding the bars.I purchased for a surron and installed with no modifications. Now i can store the bike in the back of a vehicle easier or put in a tight space when not using it.
