sayshell Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) wow I thought the day would never come but I finally broke a stem. Ive been riding my onza stem for about a year and today it snapped at the part above the weld its strange cause usually I have no problems with stems. Anyways I think the stem was decently good but its a cheap stem so I wouldn't mind upgrading to something a bit stronger. I am looking for something with at least 35 degrees rise and between 155-175 length. The trialtech sport, and viz forged is what I have in mind at the moment, anyone have any better suggestions? I guess its hard to know what stems are stronger without building one but I mean if you are a hack, or heavy rider and have had good experience with a particular model please let me know thanks! I got the stem snap on film I will post the video eventually Edited August 21, 2009 by sayshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
