Nitto NTC-DX Tallux 225 1" Quill Stem | 26.0mm Clamp | Silver

History

Nitto was founded in 1923 in Tokyo, Japan and is a Japanese manufacturer of bicycle components such as handlebars, stems, and seat posts. For some time now, Nitto has also been manufacturing other bicycle components such as bicycle racks. Various Nitto components are certified for track cycling races, and the company was one of the first to outfit the Japanese Keirin races.

 Description

The NTC-DX is a great stem for touring bikes and for those who want a more upright position.

The Nitto 'Tallux' is one of our perennial favourites and a worthy upgrade from the standard Technomic with even better finish. Polished to perfection with one of those uniquely Japanese satinised polishes and an elegant clamp design whose pinch bolt engages with the same smoothly faired triangular nut as the Pearl rather than the industrial hex shaped item of the regular Technomic.

The 225mm version of the Technomic Deluxe is almost the tallest quill on the UK market and owes its existence to the Rivendell Bicycle Works who introduced it as the "Tallux". There is only really one disadvantage with a long stem (well two if you count the weight) - that it might be too long for bikes with short head tubes, if a rider was to need the bars quite low then it could bottom out on the crown.
