Will a sterring stabilizer help reduce arm pump, and what other advantages does this gadget have?

Yep I love mine.

QuadTrix6 tighten them suckers until they won't move. Also your hardware store would have a bolt for ya...

You will not be disapointed. Arms will feel a whole lot better. Mix it with an anti vibe stem and it's even a little better. ;)

I just got and installed mine last week. I thought the install was fairly simple. Just halfway-tighten everything and rotate things around until it gets where you like it, then tighten it down. However, I'll ditto that statement about LOCTITE- USE IT!!. One of the bolts came out of the steering clamp and screwed up my new Arens stem! :mad: I also noticed the original bolt was already rusting after only 1 day! I snagged some new stainless steel ones, loctited everything up, and now I've beat the crap out of it and it's holdin on tight! :D Definitely worth the purchase. BTW, I use mine on setting 6-7 most of the time... helps a lot on the rocky trails.

I've had one for a couple of months now. I just wish I could get the dampning of the sixth click with the turning ease of the the second click - I guess just like everything else it's a trade off. It may help your arms - but if you run it on click 6 or 7 you will definately feel it in your shoulders at the end of the day.

Yes, does not affect jumping or anything else.

BINGO! ACE is the PLACE for the helpful hardware man... damn 80's commercials song still stuck in my head lol :p

Actually, they only had the stainless for the 4 longer bolts that go on the frame bracket. The 2 bolts for the stem clamp seem to be fine thread SAE and they didn't have those (only metric and std sae). I'm still on the search... in the mean time I just hit them with a little clear paint to keep them from rusting instantly like they did at first...
