Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
This was a great stem while I had it - Truvativ make excellent products at a great price and are probably a bit underrated. I had the 60mm length and unfortunately it turned out to be too short for my style of riding. I have taken it on & off the bike numerous time (trying to figure out the best cockpit set up) and never have the bolts been threaded or stripped etc. Great durable stem - on the heavy side for xc/ trail but then again that's not really it's intended use!

My first one i had came on my bike and while in whistler both screw holes for the steer tube became threadless. (may have had to do with being re-assembled constantly for shipping.

i replaced the one i broke right after with the same thing and havent had any problems. this stem shows that there is no need to go to high end and waste your buck.
