Non Carbon Fiber: Handlebars, Steerer & Stems

Whilst this is a nice stem it is unfortunately not carbon fiber as described. I took it out of the box, thought "that's not carbon", compared it to my carbon bars, seatpost and bike, put it back in the box and printed out a return label. It would be a keeper if I didn't already have an aluminum alloy stem, which I'm trying to swap out for a full carbon one. I made the mistake of not reading the reviews before purchasing. Not sure how it works as I've never fitted it to my bike but I'll give it 3 stars because it looks good, probably does the job but is misleading to say it's carbon . Anyway, it should be described as a mix of carbon and alloy if that's the case, but I felt and sounded like an all-aluminum alloy.

Pros
