Proper fit on a bike is critical for maximum performance and comfort. Which is why micro-adjustment of fore/aft saddle position as well as seat post/saddle height has been around for years. But this hasn’t been the case for threadless steering systems. Lifting or lowering steering height has always required removal of the stem to allow for the addition or removal of spacers. This is neither a simple, nor a “micro” adjustment procedure.
The patented ATS (Adjustable Threadless System) technology resolves this by replacing the standard stem/spacer system with a slotted and ribbed shim that compresses and preloads the headset. With the headset preloaded by this shim instead of a stem, the stem can be mounted anywhere along the ATS shim. Stem height can now be quickly adjusted to within a millimeter by simply loosening one bolt without ever loosening the headset!
With saddle position and stem height fine-tuned to your optimal position, riding will be more efficient, more comfortable and more enjoyable.
