i wouldn't recommend the cube. its four bolt design's easy to misalign on installation. but it looks great.

GBB is there a high rise turbolite? Have you seen any nice/ok brand with a high rise that you can recommend? Like 30 degrees or so 120mm.

And I can definitely attest, on its durability. there are only 2 brands of stems that got MTBRs best and that is thomson & raceface diabolus. I guess that would be enough. So if you could break a thomson... you would definitely break other stems as well. |

careful...careful ...on installing a thomson stem. This piece of jewelry must have the proper torque, no estimates...to avoid cracks.

Easton is a nice choice, turbolites, amoebas, you can never go wrong on the torque.
by the way, is thomson a stem or a jewelry as kuya b said nyahahahahah
kasi, it's soft like gold and price like gold ;D

i don't own any thomson jewelry (either seatpost or stem) but it looks like they reached the status of ck headsets.
and that's saying a lot, imho.
