Review on Wake 31.8Mm Short Mountain Bike Stem - Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Stem For Most Bicycles, Including Road Bikes, MTBs, BMXs, And Fixie Gears - Available In Black, Blue, Gold, And Red by Julio Avikunthak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality, low cost, but be careful not to over-torque the screws!

I used this to upgrade from the horrendous stock stem on my 2022 GT Aggressor Pro (made me hunched over in a chiropractor-inducing position, like the Hunchback of Notre Dame). It is very light, high quality, and it is a direct drop-in part at a very good price! I could do without the "Best Bicycle" writing under the Wake name, but that is a minor nit-pick. I was honestly surprised to get this product, being of high quality, for the low cost.I had to buy this twice, but that is my own fault. I used a socket wrench and over torqued the bolts, stripping them. I highly suggest you use the included allen wrench to tighten them instead, you do not have to crank on it to get it tight. Lesson learned!I would not hesitate to recommend this stem, I just wish the manufacturer would quit the "Best Bicycle" words under the wake name!
