Shadytree Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have one I bought to try out. I like the way it fits, but I am leery of it breaking (in a potentially painful way). Does anyone know if these are any good? Here is a link to a similar one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNO-AS-009-Aluminum-Alloy-AL-6061-35-Bike-Bicycle-Stem-Black-25-4-x-75mm/191300901413?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D54618%26meid%3Db9c1717bf8704728b0ba200ef1badd8d%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D141720205986%26itm%3D191300901413&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 ive been running a similar chinese stem.. 90x30, 80x40, 70x30 and 110x30. cheap and easy to buy/swap- the shorter the stem the less of a chance of breaking it, most are well strong enough. unsure about that brand, looks the same as all the other origin 8, whatever chinese no-name brand is on amazon in the states... bbb or somethin. buy a hope if you want to feel closer to hype , and lose a lil more weight from your wallet... bigger sidehops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 BBB are a bit different - they're a Dutch based company who do their own products. That said, those forged stems are reeeeasonably all much of a muchness. They should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoofty Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I've been running an Uno 35x90 since March and it's fine so far. Only thing I don't like is the face bolts are 4mm and the stem bolts are 5mm. Only silly 4mm on the whole bike! I miss my first Echo that used 5mm or 2.5mm for the WHOLE bike. Ah the good old days ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the good old days ;-) Even crank bolts? I like mine for the same reason. All 5mm or 8mm. Still carry a full set though Edit: I just realised my snail cam bolts are 4mm.

Swoofty Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Well ok, yeah not the crank bolts, but I never had to check those in the field. I can only dream of being THAT hardcore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
