MTB Stem Mountain Bike Stem 31.8 50mm 30 Degree Short Handlebar Stem for Most Bicycle, Fixed Gear, Road Bike, Downhill Bike, Track Bike, MTB, BMX, Cycling

I’ve bought two of these, one for each of my ozark trails. Daughter and wife’s bikes.Very solid and well made. Good quality screws and they bring the bars closer to the rider, which is good for them bc they’re both short.

I was looking for a stem that would move the bars backwards and up. This fit what I was looking for and works perfect. By getting a shorter stem length it makes turning in the woods easier all while making it so I don't have to reach for the bars as much going down hill or on a easy ride with my wife. Yes it's heavier than the stock stem. But on E- MTN- bike who cares about a extra 50g of weight. At 62 yrs young I am more into comfort than saving a few grams of weight.

This helped make my handlebars a little closer while also adding a little bit of rise and definitely improved the ergonomics of my bike. It is fairly solid and seems like it will hold up to a reasonable amount of abuse. Installed pretty easy and looks good

I trust it with my life

It's definitely heavier than your stock stem but if you're looking to reduce the reach between you and the bars while keeping a nice rise? Perfect for that. I would not feel paranoid taking this stem down some bumpy terrain or jumps and for the price point it's hard to beat.

I ride a lot of trails that are rolling through the woods. My TREK bike is awesome, but I found my hands getting numb on a fairly frequent basis. Making a couple of changes, including changing out the 60mm 0 degree headset for this 50mm and 30 degree headset. It will raise my bar with the goal being to reduce hand pressure. Installation was a breeze and it fit the bill perfectly at a very reasonable price.

This stem had the geometry I desired which is difficult to find. The 30 degree tilt up and 50mm reach were good numbers for me. Cost was good for this unremarkable part.The steerer tube pinch bolts are shown with grease in all six photos. None of the bolts had lubricant which is fine because I prefer nickel-based anti-seize. The captured washers on the bolts are thinner and dull than in the photos. Most likely a different supplier with a cheaper cost compared to the original bolts.The threads for the handlebar pinch bolts were not well formed. My photo 4 shows the aluminum accumulation from two holes. Most likely a worn tap that was not replaced during production. The bolts were very tight would not rotate towards the bottom of the blind hole. The assembly person should have reported this to their manager. A lack of training and auditing by WAKE.As seen in my photos 1 and 2, the handlebar clamp had burrs on the top and bottom of the hole.This would damage the finish on the handlebar. This hole is not round (24mm W x 27mm H) so the manufacturing process caused these burrs and obviously not a drilling burr with this oval hole. The 3rd photo shows the polished area where the burr on one side was removed by me.In addition, the top and bottom of the steerer tube hole has a rolled edge which measures 0.1mm smaller on the diameter. I most likely will not remove this rolled edge because it is small and should be displaced during installation / torquing. The steerer tube hole with paint measures 28.7mm instead of the 28.6mm as in their photo 2.I enjoy machined aluminum parts as I worked in the aluminum industry for decades. This stem in not a detailed part. Only a 22mm hole in the body, the hole in the handlebar clamp, and painted instead of anodized. Because of the lack of machining in the sides to remove weight and no extra finish process (anodizing instead of paint) it costs less.WAKE needs to improve their production inspection, auditing, and process checklist for the above-mentioned burrs and threads in any and all parts.

No joke, most hamburgers are lighter than this stem. If you have an enduro or DH set up, go for it. I got the box and thought they wrapped it in lead. Literally 7.9oz on my scale for a short reach low profile stem. On a carbon XC bike, no thanks.If it doesn’t work on your bike, you can do curls or farmers carry’s with it
