It was a Trans X brand. I am not embarrassed, but I am a bit bummed. I bought 3 of them from a salvage store that buys out stock from places that go out of business and such. I think I paid 3 bucks apiece for them just to have in the spare parts bin. I sent it to the OP in hopes that it could help him locate the sweet spot in stem rise, so that he could get a good stem configured that way.
Sorry, I wish it had worked out. I put one on my daughter's bike and it has worked well so far. I better inspect it thoughh. Thanks for the heads up.
