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 James Parker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will work for certain skill sets and riding conditions.

Hasn’t broken off, so that’s a great start to a review, especially since my dad borrows it too. I can absolutely see how these don’t give you much leeway when it comes to over tightening them. Not suggesting that you don’t toque them to proper specs, but if you try to "feel it out,” be careful if you ate spinach before. They use very soft metal. It’s mounted to a 29er hardtail that is used weekly, and it hasn’t lost the ability to secure the fork and keep the handlebars from moving. I’m slowly gaining a full piece of mind while riding It. I was very paranoid on the first few rides due to those on here who said it fell apart worse than Charlie Scheen.UPDATE: 07/10/22Still hasn't snapped off so I'm alive to give this Update 👍 4.5 ✨

Pros
  • Currently installed on a tandem bike. Works well.
Cons
  • The stem may not have a secure enough grip on the front fork, causing unwanted movement.
