I once fitted one of these to my hardtail MTB.

Big Mistake - Easily Solved.

Of the Rapide ones or the takealot one? What was wrong with?

Suspect it was just the sizing that's being referred to.

The Rapide is intended for 35mm bars not the more common 31.8mm.

Possibly corrected with a shim.

I would be suspicious of brands that feel the need to copy established brand's corporate identity.

At least for load bearing parts like a stem... 🙂

It’s probably okay but just make sure there are no metal burrs. Particularly if you are using a carbon bar with it.

Oh yes that might be just wanted to say I have a 31. 8 Rapide 45mm on my HT and it's done what's needed so far I have all my teeth 🤣

Thanks!

I’ve been looking at this stem for a while now, but I didn’t know if it was quality or not.
