deda newton stem reversible?

[david]

Guys -

Is it okay to flip a stem, specifically a deda newton over so the writing is
upside down? It appears that the stem does not have a SUL similar to salsa.
The stem seems symmetric horizontally besides the inverse angle.

Thanks for the input

David

All threadless type stems are reversible if you don't mind the aesthetics=

Current production Newtons have the writing both ways up

an invitation as you could ask for to flip the thing.
