Nashbar Carbon Stem
I noticed that Nashbar has a 31.8 full carbon stem on sale. Does any one have knowledge of this product? It looks generic, properly made by some other company. I tried a search any nothing came back.

You get what you pay for. Cheapo carbon stems are for looks only; they cost more, but offer no stiffness or weight benefits vs. aluminum. Some of these are fake carbon, with just a carbon finish on top of an aluminum core.
