Review on Short 32Mm / 60Mm Aluminum Alloy Bike Stem For Most Bicycles - Mountain, Road, MTB, BMX, Fixie Gear, Cycling - Wake 25.4 Stem (Black) by Henry Hunter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

When you need a shorter reach, this is the fix

My posture on a used bicycle had me leaning forward. Bad form can cause hand numbness within minutes after getting on a bike. Since I knew the problem, I simply had to find a solution and this was it! By swapping out my longer handlebar stem for this short one and making a slight adjustment to the handlebar height, the result was a more upright riding position, one of the key things to prevent hand numbness. Over all quality is okay and the stem came with two handlebar shims (in various sizes) for a more accurate fit, if needed. My setup didn't require it. Just be careful not to over tighten it the bolts. Perfect for any home mechanic to solve one of the major complaints due to numb hands. Excellent bang for the buck!

Pros
  • Economical. Quality stem if you’re not building up a 3k dollar bike.
Cons
  • The stem may cause unwanted vibration that can lead to an uncomfortable riding experience.
