Trebor Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 On second glance it does look like it, perhaps the shiny Echo finish gives it beasty strength (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 "guess" guess what???? its snapped...............hehe, altho using a road stem for trials isnt really that much of a good idea is it???? (Y) As was said, it's the Echo Control, but with "GUESS" on the side. Same as the Echo Team being the Onza T-Master stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I've got a spare Echo 90mm stem if you want to borrow that for tomorrow? It's not ideal I know, but it might do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 someones been tightening up there stem bolts massively havent they mr prawn (Y) seriously, looks to me like its failed on the weld at the bottom, then cracked straight underneath when pressures been put on it, quite an interesting failure, would be good to see a couple of pics with it off the bike to see what the area by the steerer tube looks like.

Prawny Baby Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 ive never really done em up super tight andy.... ive not really thought about that to be honest! i dont THINK the stem has any welds.... unless they have been super smoothed off afterwards.... but i doubt it!
