Review on 🚲 Wake MTB Stem 25.4 90mm 110mm 0-60 Degree Adjustable Bicycle Stem - Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Short Handlebar Stem for Mountain Bike, Road Bike, MTB, BMX, Cycling (Black) by Karthikeyan Behm

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality stem, like most adjustable stems.

I've been using this callout for about 2 weeks. I drive frequently and do wheelie, track and general driving. This suitcase has so far withstood what I have given it. I was satisfied with its controllability and also had a firm grip on the steering wheel. I have 2 reservations. First the stem creaks. It fooled me when I first heard it. I disassembled the entire stem and lightly lubricated MOST of the components with PolyLube. I was careful not to oil the primary surfaces of the clamps. I didn't want any lubrication when rubbing the compressing surfaces! The squeak seems to be gone, it's an occasional "whistle" but that's not true. Secondly, this is most likely my fault, but I would like to mention the insecurity. I loosened the stem bolt. However, I did NOT tighten it with a torque wrench. I've since tightened it and it seems to be holding tension pretty well. In general this is a quality product for the money. Looks just as good as the adjustable stem. A quality stem may be cheap, but it will hold up well. I would buy again.

Pros
  • Works great for me
