$11.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Strength, build, precision, value | | Weaknesses: | Like everyone elses review, those anti-knee cuts in the metal. | | Similar Products Used: | Easton Vice, some FSA's | | Bike Setup: | IH warrior comp, EA70 bars, FSA v extreme cranks, x.o'd, weyless stem, speed v race saddle, thompson elite post, mavic wheels etc etc | | Bottom Line: | Unbelievable for the price. Its hard to manufacture such a product and make a worth while profit for the price I accumulated this stem for. Its strong, firm, and can take a beating. It's CNC milling makes it lighter (still on the heavy side though), and agree's with my all around style riding. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | supergo | | Strengths: | PRICE! | | Weaknesses: | SHARP EDGES! | | Similar Products Used: | THOMPSON | | Bike Setup: | HARO DSR HARDTAIL, psylo sl | | Bottom Line: | awesome deal. people don't realize that weyless usually offers a darn good product. even if it's not the best you still cant beat the price! just got an mt-4 stem off ebay for 9 bucks including shipping. i was the only bidder! as others mentioned before, the sharp edges on these things are brutal to the knee, but that's the only weakness. i'm happy to see it has some heft, means it'll stay strong! | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 16, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | -Low Price
-Quality finish | | Weaknesses: | -Weyless is a silly name and has an ugly logo | | Bike Setup: | Kona hardtail dirtjumper | | Bottom Line: | This stem is a great buy. It's a quality heavy build and I have no complaints about it's performance. It's solid and does the job without any flex. The paint finish is on par with other similar cnc'd designs out there. Weyless is a silly name IMO, but that's just a superficial rant.
For the record, this is a review for the 45mm size. I don't have any issues with buyng Supergo Weyless house brand stuff because they subcontract parts manufacturer that make parts for other fancy name brands. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | CHEAP! Stiff, Beefy | | Weaknesses: | HEAVY | | Bike Setup: | Home-built hardtail | | Bottom Line: | This thing is for drops, hucks, and just plain abuse. It's heavy, but you should expect that if you plan on buying it. It works. What you see is what you get. And DANG! That price!!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | Nice looking. Well made. Strong. Stiff | | Weaknesses: | Ugly Weyless Logo. I needed to put something bad about it. | | Bike Setup: | 2001 GT Ruckus, Marz DJ1, Hayes 8"/6", DEORE/LX/XTR, Salsa Bashring, Syncros DH Bar, Syncros SeatPost, SDG Satellite Saddle, Sun SingleTrack Rims, Sun ZUZU Pedals, Panaracer Fire XC Pro | | Bottom Line: | Great stem for the money.

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | Price is right
Very strong | | Weaknesses: | A little on the heavy side
Sharp edges on top plate are dangerous. | | Bike Setup: | Trek Fuel90 | | Bottom Line: | I bought this stem because it was the cheapest I could find in this length. I was very happy with it until I had a bad crash while jumping a log pile. My knee landed on the sharp edge of the stem and gave me a nasty gash. This stem has sharp edges all around the top plate right where you are likely to hit it if you crash. If you buy one, tape some foam around the edges for safety. I wanted to send an E-mail to the company suggesting they round the edges a bit, but they don't even have a website. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | PRICE! for 25 bones this is a great deal. | | Weaknesses: | Weight, it is on the heavy side (I have the longer 110mm{i think}) and it is kind of porky, but not out of reason for what it is designed for. | | Bike Setup: | 200# fat boy | | Bottom Line: | Great deal on a good stem. If you are rough on equipment or need the strenght it seems up to the task. If weight is a concern look elsewhere. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 31, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | -nice bar placement
-low price
-stiff | | Weaknesses: | -nothing major
-the corners of the front clamp should be rounded off a bit
| | Bike Setup: | GT LTS-2000 DS, Marzocchi Z1QR20, etc. | | Bottom Line: | The 80mm length provides a nice compromise between pedaling efficiency and control in techical terrain. It has also taken some decent hits without complaint. It may not be as pretty as some of its competition, but it works well-and it's cheap. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
