Date Reviewed: November 2, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Rebel Sports Bankstown | | Strengths: | Cheap -> got it on special
strong
relatively light considering i got the 1 1/4" 135 mm model with 0 degreee rise
despite its age...its still as lightweight as the new 135 mm stems of similar spec (KORE light 3, $65 US) even with the shim 1 1/4" -> 1 1/8" attached
=)
| | Weaknesses: | This model is 6 years old....looks out of place on my new trek 4300 bike..
needed a custom made aluminium stem made to attach it to my 1 1/8" steerer pole | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager (came with bike), crap...too short and heavy | | Bike Setup: | Trek 4300 -> deore cranks, XT BB, Kore lite flat bar, Answer a.tac stem, manitou six deluxe fork, the rest is factory (for now) | | Bottom Line: | A great buy if you find one i did lying around at a bicycle shop.
Its an Easton tapered aluminum stem
Thanks to John from Underground Cycles (Taren Point) for making the shim...(it was hard finding a bicycle store with a lathe to make a shim) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Yeti Cult
integrated cable hanger (for CANTILEVER brakes!) | | Weaknesses: | NONE! | | Bike Setup: | Yeti Pro F.R.O. | | Bottom Line: | Ooops? I can't believe I'm the first one to review this old stem!?
Anyway, if you own an older bike (e.g. Yeti or Manitou) the A-Tac is the best you can get. It's not that light, but who cares? It's one brutal yet good looking stem you can't break. Mine is 9 years old and I've got 100% confidence. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
