That happened to K-max a few years ago. I think they just sent him a new one. Universal sells them if you have to buy one. I've got one you can borrow in the mean time, assuming you can get time to ride.
things that make you nervous......mid ride...
noticed this 1/2 way thru a little spin in Santa Cruz today on my SS.......dammit....

That could have gotten ugly! Was it a SS, by any chance? There's tonnes of torquing on the handlebar while climbing.

Buy a real stem. Get a Syntace.
That Thomson looks like one of those chinese knockoffs made in Shenzhen by little girls that are still taking CNC training classes. The little 'R' trademark is on the side of the "N" on a real Thomson stem...
Has the bike spent a lot of time hung up on a bike rack in a hot garage? I heard 6061 doesn't take sitting around doing nothin very well, and starts stress cracking. I guess that'd be garage queen stress.
Just glad to see you back on a bike.

good to be back ridingrensho said:
.....even it's only for an hour at a time......i am gonna be 1 fast dude for 60 minutes......then implode.......maybe i'll take the CX thing seriously this year......hmmmmm.....
EDIT:....just contacted Thomson....they said send it in and we'll send a new one.....super easy....but it'll take 2 weeks....
think I'll just spend the $10 and grab a new one from a LBS...
Well, I no longer have the Thomson 31.8 faceplate. The stem has been lent out, and the faceplate went with it... CHUM and JustJeff can battle for it in Wii boxing or Guitar Hero....jorgemonkey said:What don't you have laying around for people to borrow?
i concede ....i am no match to JustJeff's mas-uber-super-skillz at Wii.......dan51 said:
besides...he's bigger and tuffer than me.....
