Date Reviewed: February 26, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | superior torsional stiffness, wide bar-clamp, came with a bike. This stem is neutral enough to evaluate handlebars. | | Weaknesses: | an ounce or two and a few mm extra steer tube hieght which are actually hidden strength when facing a 4 footer. | | Similar Products Used: | easton, ritchey, race face diabolous | | Bike Setup: | I've tried this stem on three bikes. It improved the handling in all cases. | | Bottom Line: | Stiffness and quiet, secure clamps are a stems purpose. This is the stiffest xc stem for the price I've tried. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$6.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Holds handlebars, looks good. | | Weaknesses: | Definitely heavier than advertized. Single bolt clamp looks ill... it will have to earn my trust. | | Similar Products Used: | Lots | | Bike Setup: | Jamis Dakar XLT custom built by me | | Bottom Line: | I actually read the review below before I bought it on Ebay. Thought big deal.... weighs a little more than advertised. I know I shouldn't expect much for 6 bucks, but it really feels heavy. I bought it to replace a Ritchey Comp, thinking the comp is nothing but a low end stick of aluminum, but the Ritchey is considerably lighter. I thought the Fast Al would be a real light weight cross country stem. Oh well. I also bought it because I wanted it to match my seatpost. So that's what I get. So my advice is: buy it if you find it for $6 on Ebay and want to match your Titec seatpost. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 14, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Strong and stiff enough | | Weaknesses: | Weight heavier than claimed and steel bolts rusted after the first wet ride. | | Bike Setup: | Giant XTC 1 XTR CrossMax | | Bottom Line: | The stem is listed at 160 grams. It weighed 192g for the 100mm. Would not have noticed it, but I swaped it for a lower rise stem. Plenty good enough, but I would have been unhappy to spend the money on this with it being a bit heavier than claimed. Steel bolts rusted inside the head after the first ride. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
