We were thrilled when The Next Web took the THINstem through its paces on a Juiced CrossCurrent X e‑bike in New York City—the ultimate test for space-saving gear.
Here’s what they discovered:
- Dramatic width reduction: The bike shrank from 27″ to 12″ wide with THINstem—and even more with folding pedals. With pop-off pedals, it compressed to under 7″—a game-changer for NYC apartments and tight hallways.
- Easy installation & secure feel: A quick five‑minute install with an Allen key. Once locked, they reported: “At no point did I feel remotely at risk … It felt identical to riding with the bike’s fixed stem.”
- Everyday convenience: Easier to store indoors, simpler to maneuver one-handed, and perfect for avoiding those nasty hallway jabs from protruding bars.
- Built to last: No looseness, no slack—just reliable performance and durability.
“The THINstem sets out to solve a common problem for cyclists and does so with an easy‑to‑use and sturdy design … I can’t imagine using another bike without it.”
