I really dislike the looks and i guess it will snap even faster than the camura's bike parts should not become toys.  | |

I'm curious to know which of you guys are mechanical engineers... With wonderful opinions like 'poor design', 'it will snap' or 'I don't like it' without any constructive critisism. Please shut up. If any of you are over 30, you should know that most stems looked like that in the late 70's early 80's (apart from the dual steerer tube squeeze/bar pinch). why give up before you tried | |

As far as the engineering goes, it amazed me as well that there are so many engineers on this site. I wonder if any of them wouldnt mind letting me borrow a digital calipre or something. But anyways. I am currently dual enrolled at college to finish highschool and take college courses. I will graduate highschool in 2008 with my AA degree in Engineering/Architectural design. As far as this stems design goes, other than a loss of surface contact on the face plate, it looks far better designed than the bizhouse stem. For starter, if you clamp it too tight, chances are you arent going to warp the clamp tube of your bars, leaving a pressed-in star and flat squar(from the wedge). Not to mention that chances of you crushing your steerer tube on your forks from over tightening the faceplate, thus pushing the wedge into the steerer tube, are significantly reduced. This is all based upon common sense, not merely looking at something and saying "pshh, what a weak piece of crap" Apollyon Bike Company.  SCG SHOE COMPANY | |

I don't see mountain bikers riding stems like that. Lack of material and a whole new design don't make up for weak structure. I would trust Quamen on that, they produce good stuff. Redwood City, where ya at? | |

if its a mountain stem , why was it posted in the flatland section, as opposed to the general section as a mountain bike stem has nothing to do with flatland. "You must be the change you wish to see in the world"- Gandhi www.vibeflatland.ca | |

Yeah, I didnt know it was a MTB stem when I posted it. I just saw a new quamen stem and a length of 28mm. But hey, people use profile racing cranks and chris king headsets. Why cant we use this? Team Dumbass, worldwide. | |
