Date Reviewed: September 13, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | great stem, realy solid and dosent flex as well as being a lot lighter weight than you'd expect | | Weaknesses: | none | | Bottom Line: | i'd recomend this to anyone, it dosent have alot of marketing hype or fancy finish e.g. Race Face Diablo etc, so it get to you at a much better price while performing equaly or better than stems over twice the price.

Date Reviewed: April 1, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Nice looks, powerfull grip, no flex, great angel and lenth, and great colours and very cheap | | Weaknesses: | Bolts can strip, so tighten eavenly | | Similar Products Used: | azonic shorty, kona.... | | Bottom Line: | Money for value it is the best stem on the market. I belive it's better than the Azonic because the Azonic can ovalize your steerer tube and they have been known to crack. Bottonline: buy this stem if you want a cheap reliable stem that kicks ass | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Half the price of the azonic shorty for the same level of performance! | | Weaknesses: | Err... you need a 6mm key for the over sized plate bolts... wait, that's a good thing! | | Similar Products Used: | Titec big al, C'dale 10+/-, generic ones | | Bike Setup: | 98 FSR Extreme, 2000 Jr T., Rhino Lites, Hayes mag front, XT-V rear, LX/XT, Race Face Turbines, Blackspire chain god | | Bottom Line: | This is a great little investment. I can't see how I could bust it and it puts the reach and rise on my slightly-too big-for-me bike in just the right spot. As I said, half the price for the same performance. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
