Lyne Amp 31.8 Stem

[Dennis-Knoblauch]

Hey guys!

 

Need some advice please!

I am wanting to get a short stem for my wife's bike, and had a look at the Lyne Amp 31.8 40mm. Has anyone been using these? Are they any good? I know Lyne is a solid company, just haven't ever ridden any of their stems or bars.

You can't go wrong with Lyne Components, they're solid. I have the Amp 35 bar and stem combo, dropper post and Amp HD wheel set and I have not regretted my purchases for even one second. Awesome service and awesome products. No need to doubt your choice, and there are many Hubbers who will agree with me.

Thank you so much Robbie!! 

 

Really appreciate that!!

Other option is Rapide Cycles. Can't go wrong with either of their cockpit combos

Ah thank you so much!!

 

Any thoughts on the Rapide frames? I was actually looking at one for myself. Basically looking for a bit of a do it all frame than can still climb well, as well as handle itself in the rough stuff.

I have a set of Rapide wheels as well. They are also bomb proof.

As for the Tigre frame, there is an entire thread dedicated to singing its praises:

You can buy a Rapide frame with peace of mind, mine is going on 20k km, my only bike.

Rapide rims can go either way. I destroyed my rear in 2 months while the front is still going a number or years later. Then again I know people who have destroyed  Lyne rims in just a couple rides. Guess rims are very user dependant.

I bought a new set of Lyne Amp HD wheels in July last year, and in December I cased the snot out of that gap at the bottom of Afterburn. It was so harsh that the SWAT case popped off the bike and I nearly broke my ankle. The wheel suffered zero damage. Not to the rim, not to any spokes and still rolls true.

Exhibit A - for context, I had just cleared it properly and rode back up to hit it again, and on the roll in around the bottom berm I knew I was too slow, and still just "went for it". The pop off the lip was also done half-arsed, with obvious outcomes.

Hahahah! I know the spot well! 

 

Okay cool, thanks for that!
