Oskar Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Its a light XC/road stem so its not the strongest on the planet, if you want a strong one get Thomson. Edited June 19, 2007 by Oskar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anodised Adamant Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 some guys brought one of thise back into our shop because he hit a pot hold in the road and ovious he put pressure on it and the front of the stem gave way and he ended up in hospital for 7 days so if i was you give it a miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor the basher. Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Yeah, the thing is every one says zoo stems are strong but Most deng parts are made by 7075T6 harden aluminum, including the stem i belive. but so is the Fsa Os-115 Stem, the only diffrence is the carbon top cap on the fsa stem ?so shouldent they be the same ???????

RobinJI Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 so shouldent they be the same ???????Nah, thing is that the FSA one will have much thinner walls, and is a lot more machined away to save weight. While the Zoo stem has the thickness of alloy to take the abuse trials will give it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
