Strengths: light...stiff...good looks...removable faceplate with three-bolt attachment...Weaknesses: bolts that attach stem to fork have loosened...nuke proof customer service blows...Bottom Line: granted i have only dealt with my bike shop, who have in turn dealt with them, but no one is ever around to answer the phone at nuke proof...it took over a month to get stem in once ordered which was a nightmare...got wrong size/colour...when stem bolt loosened, they were no help only telling me to try and keep it tight...if the stem did not look/handle well, i would have tried something new already...

availabilityBottom Line: i was in need of a new stem to lengthen out my cockpit and i remember hearing that nukeproof stems were made in 150mm lengths, so i made an effort to find one. over christmas i found some on clouseout at a lbs that was going out of business. i bought it for $20 and emailed nukeproof when i got home to see about getting a longer stem. i promptly received an email from a guy who's name i forget telling me what he had in stock and that i could exchange it in unused condition. i sent it in and received my new black stem in a week.
the stickers thing is correct. i sprayed some clear acrylic paint on it before i installed it. one secret, apply several coats because crashes may still take some paint off. talk about a great company, too bad the stems don't get enough exposure.

Strengths: Strength, durability, quality, value, I could go on if you want.Weaknesses: Some of the decals came off but is that a weakness. I didn't buy it so people could see what it is.Bottom Line: Love it, love it, love it! Slap it on, set it up, forget about it. Buy this stem and you will not need another. Ever. I highly recommend this stem to any and all mt. bikers. Buy it and be happy.

Strengths: light, strong,
killer looksWeaknesses: Not ApplicableBottom Line: If you are thinking about buying it, stop thinking and reach for the wallet. You could bottom out your fork, and taco your wheel and you still couldn't wake this stem from its nuclear winter hibernation. Oh, did I mention, it looks awsome too. I got mine used from a friend and all the stickers are still intact, with minimal damage to the paint job. Nukeproff has done an outstanding job on this stem.
