$20.00 | | Purchased At: | JensonUSA | | Strengths: | "Rocky BalBOA" | | Weaknesses: | 2 bolt plate. | | Similar Products Used: | no-namers. | | Bike Setup: | Diamondback Sorrento 7spd, 1.5" panaracer, sram x7, shimano Hollowtech, s2 headset, profile fr bars, lx/mavic 221 | | Bottom Line: | It's enough for cross country use and light free riding. I use the 130deg, 65mm length to bring my handle bars higher and closer to me. I haven't seen too many stems out there offer this degree of comfort for the casual rider (outside of adjustable stems) for threadless setups. It's perfect on my Mtn. bike-gone-street bomber. While the BOA isn't as appealing as 3D forged stems, the thick welds make this a sturdy construction. ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$17.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | I have the 90mm x 40° version and it's very nice geometry for me because I like to sit pretty upward but also like a flat bar for long distances, to have the use of bar ends. This stem is perfect for me on my current frame (which is a tad too big). | | Weaknesses: | None that I know off | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager sport, Azonic ORC, Monty trials stem, XTX DH stem, Planet X meteor | | Bike Setup: | 1999 GT ricochet 20" | | Bottom Line: | It's very good value and plenty stiff for me although I'm 230 lbs. Haven't had problems so far. If you like a strong, cheap stem, go for it. I love mine. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$5.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Hasn't broke yet | | Weaknesses: | A little flex | | Bike Setup: | K2 Attack 4.0, race face, noleen | | Bottom Line: | This stem is a little flexy. I ride fairly hard on a marginal bike. This is one part I just picked up in an emergency to get back to the race in angel fire cuz I broke the previous one. So far for about 4 years now this part hasn't broke. Although i would like something a little stiffer. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
