On the bottom...The gap between the stem and the clamp... look inbetween... you will see a thick flat C clip in there.KAY DEE EXER wrote:In my gallery theres a photo off the stock KX bottom clamp, where's the clip you mention?

Inda, did you have the roll pin like Trev shows in his gallery on your lower tree?

That is on his KDX tree.... You'd have to ask m0rie....

My mistake. I thought that was the KX clamp. Guess I should learn to read his captions or something. I'm going to use the photo and take my lower KX tree with my KDX stem and have a local shop install a pin for me. Just some insureance to the knurling now used to keep the stem snug.

On the KX bottom clamp there is not even a 1mm gap between the stem and the hole it lives in. I can't see how a c/clip could fit in that tiny gap. There is no clip visible at all.

Press it out... then you will see what I'm talking about. On second thought... I still have my KX stem... I will take a pic of it today...

No problem. So you can't actually see it until the stem is pressed out?
