Burton Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Zoo stems are lower, slightly shorter, and stronger. Where as the Monty stems are slightly longer, higher(more rise) and not as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corish Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Price.... ? ZOO! Stem I think is a bit shorter, lower, and no carbon effect or slopin top cap. I think THINK the monty stems are like 80 quid cos of Ti bolts, thats what my mate payed for and I think its abit pricey for like what? a few grams less? corish EDIT: dan, how you know the zoo!'s are stronger? the monty's are strong after all.

I only paid £35 o summit for my monty stem(didnt really use it), and thats got the carbon effect, but no Ti bolts. I dont know how your friend paid summit like £80 for the stem, even with the Ti bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monty stem apparently on sale now is ONLY the ti-bolts version, which is incredibly more expensive than the normal carbon-effect one (I think the ti one is around £70 or so at least).

Si-man Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 73 f**king quid for a stem that is made of cheese, all because it has ti bolts :blink: Monty don't half try an con money out of people. Think the zoo stem will be purchased when my monty one goes. f**k paying £73 for a stem :) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
