Date Reviewed: June 19, 2003 | | Favorite Trail: | any Moab expert | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$10.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Cheap, strong, no noise | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Syncros, Easton 50 | | Bike Setup: | S-Works M4, XTR, Black Spire crank\rings, Avid Mech., Selle Flite, Mavic, Man. Black. | | Bottom Line: | Bought this as an emergency replacement and never took it off! Rigid with flex for longevity. No strange noises. Good looks. Fairly light. I don't believe in spending big $ for peripheral items like seat posts, stems, skewers, etc. Put your money into frames, suspension and wheels as the name brand "little stuff" rarely lets you down. $100 for a stem? That's 6 tires and 4 tubes for a Moab rider and trust me, at Moab you'll need them more than a high $ stem. Perfect for any type of XC rider and light DHer. Was told Ritchey was making Specialized stems and posts....can't go wrong there. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$10.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Strong and rigid.
Cheap. | | Weaknesses: | Some wieght wienies might complain that its 20 grams to heavy. | | Similar Products Used: | whatever came stock on my bikes over the years. | | Bike Setup: | Was a 2000 FSRxc. | | Bottom Line: | There's not much I can say. At the time I bought it in 2000, it was cheap at $10.00.
It held up fine doing light jumps and was rigid when I hammered out of the saddle.
I never had any problems with it what-so-ever, and I weigh 200+ lbs. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
