$40.00 | | Purchased At: | UnrealCycles | | Strengths: | CNC machined goodness, durability, strength, good warranty | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Crappy XC stems | | Bike Setup: | 2K3 LeToy III, 2K3 dj2, Sun/Ringle Rhynolites | | Bottom Line: | The Px meteor stem is a very good product. I have used it in conjunction with the Px Dh bar, and have found no faults what-so-ever. It is very burly for its size, and well machined...precision! It is not too expensive, available in many different lengths(personally have the 40mm version), and colors to suit your preference. NOTE: tighten the bolts every-so-often, or you may regret it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 20, 2000 | | Favoriate Trail: | THE STREET | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Looks amazing, lots of colour choice, LOOKS strong | | Weaknesses: | Not enough choices of rises and lengths. LOOKS strong, but no way is it
| | Similar Products Used: | Kore, 24/7, Kona DH | | Bike Setup: | Trials | | Bottom Line: | I can't believe it. I loved this stem right up until about 30 mins ago, when i landed a perfect drop and it snapped clean in half. Planet X will NOT replace it.
DON'T BUY THIS, there are better on the market for the price. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
