Pro's:

+ Degree markings give a quick & useful reference point if using multiple configurations which I probably will be using
+ Will get this within few days. Cheaper LitePro could apparently take almost a month to get to me! Unless I'm willing to pay more for it (e.g. £25.33 via ebay)
+ Aber gives me 50mm extension. Can't find figure re: Litepro but unit is 75mm length with 25.4mm diameter clamps. I reckon it would give me approx 32mm reach.
Vs
LitePro Adjustable Double Stem: £19.80 delivered to UK (China stock)
LitePro Bicycle Adjustable Double Stem For Dahon Folding Bike Light Weight Stem | eBay
Pro's
+ Half the weight (95g Vs 199g)
+ Cheaper
+ Looks much better (I'm considering silver or black)
Pls share your thoughts. Especially if you've seen/used both in the flesh :-)
If your use the double stem,you'd better mount it on a T shape handle post.like this.
for it's firm enough.
if you mount it on a quick release handle post.the quick release might be cracked by the double stem under heavy load. like this
there are many of the same tragedy cases....
