This stem is sweet and haven't had a real problem yet. If your'e looking for a light weight (190G)stem I would buy this stem. Came on my bike when I joined DEAN's team last year and plan to use it till it breaks them buy another. I give it 5 Flaming cat carcases

Bike Setup:
Dean Oscar, XT and XTR mix
Bottom Line:
This stem is very nice. It is lighter than the Kore stem. You do have to keep an eye on the front bolts, as they will loosen until seated-in. The stem looks great also. Watch the Dean website for sales and auctions on this product.
