Stem question

[keith]

Hey guys any recommendations on a stem for my road bike that doesn't cost a fortune and is light? (is there such thing?) Oversized 120mm. My no-name brand stem is a bit long so would like to purchase a new one. Ngiyabonga.

Bibity bobity boo... any suggestions?

PRO PLT. It's what the pros use and is below R500.

KCNC, very light (115g - 120mm) and well priced about R500 (i could be wrong)

Easton EA90 (125g) about R750

KCNC SC WING, 120 mm, I think weighs 108 grams and is around 650 rand

[dylankeyter]

KCNC Fly Ride 125g R220.

Mines lighter though

I want to see some of these fail and as fast as they has become flavour of the month, they will become the birdcage liner.

Thanks guys! Dylan any idea where I could purchase one, or KCNC in general?

[keith]

Mampara why do you say that?

Mampara why do you say that?

 

I don't trust lightweight stuff. I even like my women to have a bit of meat on them.

Mampara you are right. I used a KCNC SC Wing on my NRS1 bout a year ago and the clamps on the steerer snapped off. Wont touch KCNC again.

[TokenFreak]
