SMR Stem Low-Stack Hose Guide for Hydraulic Couplers |

Aproto + Zeno couplers = 🔥

I would not recommend this for every build. My project was very specific but solves a common problem. Complete fork removal for a fully internally routed bike. There are two bikes cases, Orucase and Post Carry that allow for compact carry of a bike. Both require the fork to be removed. I have a lot of airline travel planned next year and wanted the smallest case possible without using a rim brake or externally routed bike. I converted my cockpit from a one piece to a FSA SMR stem and EXS 175 bar. There is a slight learning curve with Zeno couplers and a slight weight penalty. However, I was able to get the entire system to work. Aproto’s cover allows me to maintain a sleeker look. It’s semi-internal but it doesn’t look too bad. Now I’m able to completely remove the bars, fork and stem. Zero loss of pressure or fluid from the Zeno brake cables. Have tested disassembly/assembly about 8-10 times. I
