$41.00 | | Purchased At: | Cyclepath | | Strengths: | Lightweight in the shorter variants (75mm in my case), very strong, nicely contoured and aesthetically pleasing look. 4-bolt clamp, of course, which was the primary reason for me to upgrade. | | Weaknesses: | None. | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager Sport 25.4mm bar, 90mm long, 15* angle up | | Bike Setup: | '03 Fisher Sugar 4+, Avid BB7 mechanicals up front, 203mm (8") front rotor, Mavic F219 Disc front wheel w/Deore XT hub, Maxxis High Roller 2.5" front tire w/downhill tubes, Thomson Elite seatpost, FSA FR230 stem, Truvativ XR riser bar. | | Bottom Line: | For me, this stem solves the problem of excessively outstretched controls on an XC biased bike that's being used for relatively serious downhill riding. I upgraded to a 31.8mm riser bar at the same time. I have long legs and a short torso at 5'10", 175 lbs. The riding position is vastly improved with the shorter 75mm long stem angled up at 8*. Stock stem was only 2-bolt, 90mm long, and 15* up. For the type of riding I'm seeing, I needed a beefier stem that won't come loose. This upgrade is about the same weight with 5 times the strength, it seems. Very solid piece and good lookin to boot. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
