Review on Wake Aluminum Alloy Bike Stem - 31.8Mm, 45Mm Short Handlebar Stem For Mountain, Road, BMX And Fixie Gear Bikes – Available In Black, Blue, Gold, And Red by Anthony Hobby

So it is a bit of a mixed bag, ultimately it didn't work for me. I did a bike build and wanted to experiment with stem lengths to find the right cockpit.Anodization is nice quality and blingy, doesn't appear to scratch easily. Weight is a little more than expected, but felt solid. Fit 1 1/8" and bolts all tightened in cleanly and securely. Solid and has a BMX feel.So why only 3 stars? It is way shorter than a standard stem, make sure you have extra spacers! I didn't like that the steerer tube was exposed (and may rust?) in the gap. There's no way to insert spacer in that gap due to the design. I like a window Also, when I tried to tighten up on my 31.8 carbon bars I felt like there was too much of a gap at the connectors (like this was designed for a slightly smaller diameter tube?) I put it on allow bars and tightened down and seemed fine. Anyway, cheap enough to experiment with and not feel bad!
