Review on 🚲 High-Quality 31.8 Stem 45mm Bike Stem for All Types of Bicycles - Road Bike, MTB, BMX, Fixie Gear, Cycling (Aluminum Alloy, Black Blue Gold Red) by Matthew Bahri

What can I say? Really good stem for $10. I ride desert Single track on a hard tail xc bike. Nothing too demanding but do have the odd 3-4ft drop offs into washes. Wanted to bring my bars in a little closer for better comfort and control so this was going to be a test stem to see if I got on with the closer to centre position with the intention of getting a "better" one if it worked for me. Install was easy enough, had to add 5mm to the stack as the clamp was a little narrower then the old one. I also used the fasteners from my old one as they were black and a better quality. Took a few goes to get the bars where I liked them so go easy on the torquing until you've found your sweet spot. Couple of rides in and I really cannot see the point of spending any more money as this stem is doing the job and looks great. Time will tell but I don't see any problems. Go for it. Cheap and functional.
