| SMPL wanted to create a stem that was a little different from what was already available on the market. The design has been in the works for more than two years, and we now finally have the first production models. The clamping system gives the stem a more slim and smooth shape, and also gets rid of extra and unnecessary material used with the “normal” clamping system.

| SMPL wanted to make a front-load wedge system stem that was a little different from what was already available on the market. The wedge pushed back on the fork when you tighten up your bars, so you avoid having two bolts to hit your knees on at the back of it.

| This hub has been in the works for almost three years now. It came about as SMPL wanted to design a small, clean, lightweight hub that could still be used with pegs. Other hubs had been designed with thicker flanges to stand up for grind damage. But with this design, we worked a way around it, and made a “flangeless” hub with an optional hubguard. The hub features a female axle system and runs regular type spokes. It’s been tested since 2005, and has shown no problems in the process.
