from San Diego Date Reviewed: December 20, 2010 Strengths: Now 7 years on this stem: it's rugged and excellent. They're occasionally on eBay in clearance -- excellent buy if you understand the collet system and it will fit your fork. Weaknesses: The collet attachment system is a weakness if you're unprepared for it. It works great, though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Left Fork, Bunker Creek Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Cambria

from Tulsa, OK, USA Date Reviewed: October 6, 2005 Strengths: BlackOps Resesarch for the masses, be the first to prove your LBS mechanic wrong when he insists "Avid has never made a stem". Stealthy matte black finish. Stiffer than your dead uncle Ray. Weaknesses: Good luck finding one. CBO has them off and on. Try Ebay. Think before you slap this thing on. There's a certain order - follow the directions.

from San Diego Date Reviewed: July 10, 2003 Strengths: Stiff As All Get Out, very low "stack height", yet very secure collet attachment system. Matte "black ops" finish looks good. Relatively light. Relatively rare. Weaknesses: No negative rise or greater than 120mm extension available. Minimal marketing-based cool factor. Not possible to use spacers above the stem, since there is no cap or opening (it's a one piece top). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: Cambria Bicycle Outfitters --phone order Similar Products Used: Ringle Zooka, Syncros Cattlehead, Roox Danny's Bike Setup: Manitou HT with Manitou Black fork, King headset and DeEvolution kit, XTR drivetrain, etc... Cross country bike.
