I need a stem quick. My road bike one is out of action due to a stripped thread - may get
replaced/repaired, but in the meantime.........
Apart from LBS and all the dealers I list below, can you recommend anywhere I could browse for cheap
but decent road stems? Any model recommendations/warnings would be welcome too.
Requirements: under £30, ahead, front opening, 90mm, 100 degrees (aka 10 deg rise) or 80/100
flippable or an 80 that doesn't look too stupid upside down, for 25.8/26.0 bars and 1" steerer or
with shim for one. Might consider getting shim separately, maybe also 78 deg. Stiffness and
reliability (and even looks) more important than weight although wound prefer one under 230g (most
are so it's hardly an issue).
Already looked through/considering this lot: Parkers, Settle, Deeside, G Buttler, Xpedia, SJS,
Wiggle, Total Cycling, Evans, Edinburgh.
