Awesome quality but wont fit my Beach Cruiser

This is very study and will definitely hold some handlebars down which is why I bought it. BUT i was wrong with the setup of how it is and wont fit my beach cruiser which is probably entirely my fault anyways. But I have it for my next motorized bicycle build and itll look awesome and almost 100% it'll exceed that and do its job!Good Buy all and all

Pros
  • Provides increased stability and control for difficult terrains
Cons
  • Not suitable for riders with large hands

Really good but not perfect

This replaced the stock stem on my 2016 Specialized Rockhopper, and I love it, but the cap that clamps on the handlebars is clearly skewed, like the holes aren't aligned correctly on the cap. So far it works fine and I don't think it'll impact its effectiveness, but beware.Also I thought it would be a simple replacement, but the part that clamps to the fork is skinnier that the previous one, so I had to buy spacers.

Pros
  • Suits the needs i had a tad heavy but great for a commuter bike
Cons
  • May cause steering difficulties

Great value, super light

I got this to move the handlebars closer to the rider on my girlfriends 29er and lighten the bike up a little. She rides rail trails and dirt roads. I can't believe how inexpensive parts like this have become! This is high quality and very light. Super easy to install. I would not use this for down-hilling or ramming around in the woods but that's not what it's for. Be sure to measure your handlebar and steer tube diameters so it will fit what you have.

Pros
  • They hold my gravel bike handlebars in place well and are half the weight of the stock risers.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to similar products

Make sure the capscrews are tight.

I bought this product because I needed the shortest stem possible for a Fuji Gran Fondo that I own and this seemed to fit that requirement. I found this stem to be well made and certainly very strong although it is alittle heavy for those who are weight conscious. The reason that I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is: it has no knurling or grooves to prevent slick handlebars from slipping. You have to cinch down the cap screws tighter than what you would think is necessary. After arriving at that…

Pros
  • Easy installation, just connect up the original front fork stem.
Cons
  • Can cause discomfort in the hands and wrists

Perfect for my son's bike

I got this to shorten the cockpit of my son's 20" MTB. Does exactly what I needed and no issues with the screws or clamp force. Since he's not doing drops or any serious trail riding yet, this is was perfect to get him the shorter reach he needed to improve his comfort and bring his confidence back up to where it was on the bike he's outgrown.The two most apparent downsides with this style stem are -1. Shorter clamping area on the steerer tube compared to all the stems I have used. You will…

Pros
  • Suitable for a variety of cycling disciplines, including mountain biking, road biking, BMX, and fixie gear cycling
Cons
  • May compromise bike performance

Great stem for an unbeatable price

These stems are a great way to get a quality, alloy stem for an awesome price. Perfect for an everyday rider or someone who rides more aggressively. Now, I don’t know if you want to do hardcore downhill with these, but for most people, they are perfect!

Pros
  • have several of these,strong,nice and short
Cons
  • Does not grip the handlebar tight enough

Revainrating 3 out of 5

good for riding around but would not trust for actual trails

its nice just not too sure how much force it can take i used it on my bike for just riding and doing errands That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Compatible with most bike accessories, such as handlebar bags and phone mounts
Cons
  • May cause the rider to develop bad habits

Cheap and solid - my new review

It is what it is advertised and it is very inexpensive. Bike parts, over the last 10ish years, have gotten so expensive. Nice that there are some inexpensive solid parts available.

Pros
  • Universal short handle bar stem suitable for most road bike, fixed gear bicycle, mountain bikes, etc
Cons
  • Limited adjustability options

Great Stem, Great Price

*** MY PHOTOS OF THIS STEM ARE A PAINTED ORANGE VARIANT AND NOT THE ORIGINAL COLOR ***The product photos supplied by the seller are spot on. I had my stem painted to match my crank set.It's lightweight, super sturdy and looks at home with carbon bars. I over-torque everything all the time and the included hardware took all my abuse no problem.Silly as it sounds, one of the best parts of this stem is how much I haven't hit my knees on it. I'm a tall dude and that can be a real issue with more…

Pros
  • Adds a touch of personality and uniqueness to any bike
Cons
  • Limited options for adjusting the handlebar height

Cheap Chinese stem - my new review

Bought three of these and two out of the three the Allen bolts stripped out when tightening them up.I used to park tool allen wrench and the proper tool it's the bolts that are cheap

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Uncomfortable for aggressive riding

Need a spacer - my new review

I bought this short stem to replace the long one on my wife’s road bike to give her a comfortable reach. It does the job nicely. I had to buy spacers because this one is lower than the original. Also the bolts for the plates do not look that strong. I ended up using those on the original stem instead.

Pros
  • Comes with easy-to-follow installation instructions
Cons
  • Not easy to install, may require professional help

Looks and works great!

I changed my mtb stem on my Motobecane Fantom DS from a 90mm it came with to this 45mm stem. I just had to add a spacer to raise it to where I had my previous stem and it works great. My steering feels quicker and the cockpit is closer to me so I'm sitting in a more upright position. I think this stem looks cool.

Pros
  • Fits both male and female riders
Cons
  • May not be suitable for riders with a certain riding style

Perfectionist's Nightmare

I received a bad batch. If you look at the photo, stem and clamp do not align correctly. Left and right thickness is noticeably different. It could be a safety hazard.Update: received a replacement and the parts looks much better. Thank you

Pros
  • Stereer Tube diameter: 28.6mm (1-1/8"), Handlebar diameter: 31.8mm (1-1/4"), Length: 45mm, Weight: 130g
Cons
  • May not fit all types of handlebars

Affordable, light weight stem that gets the job done

I like that it is light weight and feels good. I would like to see some split lock washers on the screws and maybe some loctite on the threads. Most brands come standards with those.

Pros
  • Ideal for both beginners and experienced riders
Cons
  • May cause discomfort in the palms of the hands

Buy the complete bike

Does not accept normal size handle bars. It's shorter than the other clamp on stems I own. It's Lighter if that's a good thing on a motor bicycle.

Pros
  • Makes turns feel better and brings in the bars alot closer
Cons
  • Limited size availability

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid, great product. Helps improve ride comfort

This stem is solid and equivalent to other stem costing triple and more. Really helps improve ride comfort by bringing you to a more upright position.

Pros
  • Four bolt bar clamp holds bar securely in position.
Cons
  • Not lightweight enough for some riders

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for budget builds

What can I say, for the price you can’t beat it. This is definitely worth it if your on a budget. Easy to put on but don’t forget extra spacers unless you don’t mind cutting down the tube a bit. I upgraded to different forks so I had to do that anyway. Over all I’m happy with it and would buy again for another budget build. I do recommend an upgrade as skill level improves though

Pros
  • Provides a stable platform for mounting GPS devices and cycle computers
Cons
  • May be difficult to find replacement parts
