    I have a propper str8 stem

    I only have the bolt that clamps the bar stem to the fork stem, its solid as fuck

    The middle bit fell out somewere after i hadnt tightened it enough

    im the same as breamy. i got a proper str8 stem and it fits fine its not tightend up stupid tight and it still solid, i can push proper hard onto it and it wont move... well worth the £28 tbh.

    a stem for £14 and from pm tuning...... what do you expect :whistle:
