Paint it, Black

Made by Nitto Japan, the long-awaited black versions of the Sim Works handlebar and stem series are finally complete.

Joining the 22.2mm "Fun3 Bar" and 31.8mm MTB-Touring Drop “Smile” which were already in the lineup, is the 22.2mm “Little Nick”.

“Dirty Rhonda” is a version of our 31.8mm clamp, TIG-welded “Rhonda Stem”—based on Sim Works' first product, the NITTO UI stem—modified for CX (cyclocross) use.

Cielo CX with Dirty Rhonda Silver

It features a front brake cable housing adjuster mounted on the extension. This eliminates the need for the traditional cable hanger usually mounted on the steer tube, resulting in a cleaner look while also providing smoother braking by reducing friction between the inner and outer cable.

It is highly recommended not only for cyclocross bikes, but also for commuters using cantilever or center-pull brakes.

The adjuster can also be mounted even if the stem is flipped.

Black is, after all, a cool color, and combined with this chromoly material, it gives off a straight and sharp impression.
