i've got a Forte adjustable stem on my newish hybrid. i got it because i needed a longer stem anyway for a proper fit and i wanted to play around a bit with the angle. now that i have the angle i like dialed in, i'll probably get a rigid stem of the same length and angle at some point down the road. the adjustable stem isn't bad or anything, but when i'm up out of the saddle hammering hard on the bike, i can hear some creaks coming from the adjustable stem even though it's very firmly tightened. i don't like creaks.
