Purchased At:Chainreaction (Ireland)
Strengths:everything, solid!4 bolt clamp, very sturdy!
Weaknesses:Let me know if you find any! I couldnt!weight-bit heavy but you arent buying for XC!
Similar Products Used:Xlite (briefly)
Bike Setup:Azonic,Hope, Marzocchi's-6" travel front+back,DMR,IRC Kudjo etc..
Bottom Line:I wanted a short stem, all reviews gave it the thumbs up, value for money-if it broke cheap enough to replace! took a bit of getting use to, looks like it shouldnt work, but it does!I honestly cant fault this-its solid,cheap and looks realll funky on the front end! God knows I have had my crashes (yes bad ones 2!)-held together unmarked.

What can else can I say ....buy one-you wont be disappointed.-gave 4 chillis=I aint tried expensive stems..I wont have to,I would buy this again.
