Review on FOMTOR Adjustable Handlebar Suitable Mountain Sports & Fitness by Johnny Burns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some tolerance issues but everything works fine so far

People who complain about weight and thickness don't understand how critical a bike stem is and how critical it will fail if it breaks. The only issue I had with this product, and the reason I didn't give it five stars, was that I had to take a rat's tail file and file the burr on the inside of the mount. In addition, the main bolt holding the two pieces together was very tight and difficult to disassemble or even loosen. I carefully unscrewed the bolt but noticed that a red coating remained on the threads, leading me to wonder if some kind of Loctite was used on the nut prior to shipping. I don't know, it's very tight and difficult to untie. However, he easily went up a size on my bike stem once I figured out how to fit it. It's not a bad product, if it's dense, just put three drops on an oil and rub in a little, it's ok. Unfortunately, the material from China does not have the approvals that high-quality products have or that we are used to from the Japanese, for example.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Slightly torn
