King C Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Maybe try whacking some stem stackers underneath the stem if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 If Titec handlebars are anything to go by I'd be very slow to use their stems. I snapped a set of hell bent DH bars in abut 6 months of trials use (They gave no warning either), other people I know have had Titec stuff break on them very prematurely too, so the handlebars are the first and last Titec parts that will ever appear on my bikes... The items linked are XC stems, so probably built to an even lower strength than the DH stuff they make... Here's what I'd buy (Within your budget constraints): http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5525 - though it may only be the 120mm one that has the right clamp size .

But ive owned 2 of the stems and im a fairly good rider and they held up fine and would use one again so i would say they are totoally fine unless your riding like damon/neil ect. Also ali c used one fine for quite a while i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarshRider Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 just measured my current stem and its actually 100mm. not 90mmthe rip stem does look good for the price, but i would be a bit worried about the strength, however it does look like the best for my price range.i used a race face prodigy stem for 2 years with no problems?i would have used more stem stacker's, however i have no more room with my current set up.i really don't want a 120mm length stem i would probably stretch to 105mm though! lolcheers with the reply s, and advice. applicate it.
