LETSCOL 31.8 Stem 45mm Bike Stem Wake Mountain Bike Stem Short Handlebar Stem for Most Bicycle, Road Bike, MTB

Le quedó excelente a mi bicicleta y no pesa si buscas tener menos peso

There are chips in the finish. The are NOT hidden when installed. Did I get a used part? Face it, it's a budget part. It is made well enough. The color ... I gambled and lost. I wanted blue It is more aqua. I'll stick to black next time. I replaced my factory 35mm carbon bars with after market aluminum bars. I couldn't find 35mm, clamping area, bars with the rise I wanted, so this 31.8 mm clamping part. I do feel a bit bad putting this on my super expensive week old MTB, but deep down I'm cheap. A part that weighs 10+ grams less won't help me ride any better.

So it is a bit of a mixed bag, ultimately it didn't work for me. I did a bike build and wanted to experiment with stem lengths to find the right cockpit. Anodization is nice quality and blingy, doesn't appear to scratch easily. Weight is a little more than expected, but felt solid. Fit 1 1/8" and bolts all tightened in cleanly and securely. Solid and has a BMX feel. So why only 3 stars? It is way shorter than a standard stem, make sure you have extra spacers! I didn't like that the steerer tube was exposed (and may rust?) in the gap. There's no way to insert spacer in that gap due to the design. I like a window Also, when I tried to tighten up on my 31.8 carbon bars I felt like there was too much of a gap at the connectors (like this was designed for a slightly smaller diameter tube?) I put it on allow bars and tightened down and seemed fine. Anyway, cheap enough to experiment with and not feel bad!

This stem is an excellent upgrade from my original and im amazed at the improvement in overall handling and ride ability once I replaced stem and handle bars.

Very Well packaging. Love It!!!
