Strengths:
Light as fvck. Cutting the steer tube saves weight, so does not have a stem cap. saves tons of weight. this has to be the sexiest part on my bike too.
Weaknesses:
no one has heard/tried one of these amazing stems!!

Bottom Line:
if you'r a racer, and are looking for the fastest lightest stuff possible, this is your stem. if you're a hucker, xc rider, or worried about cutting your steer tube, don't get this. i just wish i could give it more than 5 chilis.
