Date Reviewed: February 8, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Maarat | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$35.00 | | Purchased At: | JBL Cycle parts | | Strengths: | Good looking, lightweight, looks sturdy and very affordable. | | Weaknesses: | none so far but are a bit heavier than the TEAM series. | | Similar Products Used: | FSA xc140, amoeba borla dh stem
| | Bike Setup: | Vision cruizer, fox vanilla, syncros, truvativ, avid bb7 brakes, sram drivetrain. | | Bottom Line: | Very very nice stem. Was supposed to get a truvativ TEAM 90mm stem. But it costs $20 more. The weight difference is 29 grams you won't feel the difference. The feel of the 90mm gives you more control going uphill compared to my shorter amoeba stem. For the looks and price, it's the best stem for me. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Online | | Strengths: | Cheap, functional and sensible. Exemplary bike part. | | Weaknesses: | Poor choice for the conspicuous consumer who thinks their bike is a status symbol. | | Similar Products Used: | Various | | Bike Setup: | Works stumpy | | Bottom Line: | Don't buy this stem if you are a showoff who is more concerned with a bike's image than it's function.
I got both a 60mm and 75mm for way less than the price of a more bling brand. No difference in quality or function that I can detect.
Weights are 147.7 grams for the 60mm @ 12 degree rise and 154 grams for the 75mm @ 5 degrees.
I guess you could worry about the prominence of the stem binder bolt, but in my opinion you should be wearing kneepads anyway... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 4, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$25.00 | | Purchased At: | eBay | | Strengths: | Looks, design | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Similar Products Used: | Sun Ringle Evolution, Pro XLT, Bilt | | Bike Setup: | GT Avalanche 2 Disc with Rock Shox Tora forks, Avid disc brakes, Truvativ Firex cranks and a bunch of other stuff. | | Bottom Line: | I have the 90mm four bolt faceplate style in a matt black finish. It's a nice stem which can be reversed to give +/-5 degrees rise. This stem looks good and seems t be strong enough for semi agressive riding. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 2, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$32.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Light
Strong | | Weaknesses: | Face bolts seem like they could potentially round off.
Doesn't look as good as the truvativ team stem (which looks almost as good as a thomson!)
Be good if all the bolts could be the same size! | | Similar Products Used: | Truvativ Hussefelt 60mm
Truvativ Holzefeller 40mm
Easton EA30 100mm | | Bike Setup: | Trance 3 | | Bottom Line: | I brought the 75mm x 5degree stem to see if it was a suitable length. It seems strong. It's light weight (about 130g) and looks pretty good too (not as good as the team stem of course).
Once again Truvativ has made a top quality product for a great price.
My only gripe - insignificant gripe was that the stem bolt is really big compared to the face plate bolts - most stem's I've had have same diameter bolts.
The face bolts never did round off but seemed like they potentially could if you remove & reinstall handlebars often. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | smith's cycle | | Strengths: | this stem is very light weight, but still has a strong stiff feeling to it, great value for the price, | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | just the stock stem | | Bottom Line: | if your looking to up grade or just replace an old stem this stem is light on the pocket and on your bike it's just an over all awsome stem | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
