I think you mean "Deus" - pronounced DAY-us, meaning "God in the..." , not "Deuce". I'm talking
about this one, see if you are too:

Anyway, I put a Deus on my bike, and, well, it certainly connects the handlebar to the steerer tube.
What do you need out of a stem? The Deus
tests that say it is stiffer than the Thomson Elite, and has a longer fatigue life. Of course, those
tests were done by RaceFace, but they've earned my trust - I've not broken any of thier stuff yet.
I hear the SYStem creaks a bit, but any goober with an allen wrench can put on a stem half-assed.
So, my bottom line: The Deus is a kick-ass stem, but if and only if you want to spend $70 to keep
your handlebar in front of you.
