Ecclestone Cycle
Strengths:
Man this is one fricken strong stem. Iv been using this thing for more than 3 yrs, and it hasn't let me down yet. My handle bars have let go already and this thing is still good, as well . And what ever that guy is saying below about that its just another stem with just virticle bolts in it doesnt know what he is talking about, its all metal the bolt just keeps the bars in place they dont support the strength at all thats whats soo good about this stem its all metal support. amazing if ur freeriding and or downhilling. have had this thing for three years and havent heard or seen so much as a creak or a crack.
Weaknesses:
Takes a while to get used i have to agree on that, because of length cut it gives.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
A heavily modified Kona dawg matic (setup for freeride) Manitou stance kingpin, Sun MTX S-type camo rims, 16 inch frame. Tioga white tiger tires (2.7)
Bottom Line:
This Stem is the best iv ever used and am in hurry to replace it seriously if u want a very very string and reliable stem, get it. its seriously great for freeriding.

Strengths:
This stem is strong and makes the bike feel shorter. Has nice colours and an awsome design.
Weaknesses:
You have to get used to it. I kept hitting my knees on the bars cause this stem brings them heaps closer to you.
Similar Products Used:
Funn Serial Thrilla.
Bike Setup:
Kona Stinky Dee-lux, JR T forks, Fox Vanilla RC, Funn Serial Killa stem.
Bottom Line:
If your looking for something to do downhill on, this probably isnt the stem for you as their are stronger stems out there for the same price. For freeriding, this is one good stem as it is pretty strong and extremely well built. Get this stem if you want a good one.
