p_ruskin Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I have been on their website and it says tarty is the only official Born dealer in the UK, but they don't stock the stems. I don't really fancy the Tryall/Rockman stem as i don't like the 2 bolt clamp, and i have a speedrace proto stem but its bad quality. So does anyone know where i can get my hands on one of these?

CalRobbo341 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I haven't ordered with them, but apparently they are okay, http://trialscabana.com/product-244.html Think it was Jamie Williams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Zhi stems are the same,might be easier to get one of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I am sure that Tarty stock the Neon version of this stem, surely it would be even easier to get one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I am sure that Tarty stock the Neon version of this stem, surely it would be even easier to get one of them? The neon stem is welded, the same as the old monty one. Cheers for the links, will have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ahh okay mate, I haven't looked at it so I didn't realise it wasn't forged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 They're going to be difficult to find, it seems they were a bit more popular than Born expected. As a Born dealer, I've been trying to get hold of these on and off for over half a year now but to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Trials addict may have some in stock or if not he could order one in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Zhi stems are the same,might be easier to get one of those? They're not though. Born is about 20g lighter I think, and the bit around the top cap is more 'cut out' and rounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ben @ Trials Addict can order them. Joe Seddon got his through a coulpe of weeks ago http://www.trialsaddict.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Just a note - that stem is CNC machined, not forged, which is the main reason why we didn't buy any in (and they always seem to be out of stock too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 What's wrong with cnc machined? CNC is weaker.Case in point- old czar cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Nothing 'wrong' with it, but forged is cheaper, lighter and stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hmm true. Think I'll stick with my rockman stem then lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
