Cracked stem

Had LBS re-cable my bike, went in to pick it up today and the mechanic pointed out that my Thompson Elite X2 stem had a pretty significant crack I hadn't noticed Probably saved me a huge dental bill or worse. The stem probably has 10,000 miles on it and is several years old on my beater bike. I was pretty surprised as the Thompson is known to be a pretty stout stem especially for it's weight. My bad, should have been inspecting my bike more often, hope everyone else will too. Just ordered an Easton EA90 to replace it with, hope it will do me a little better.
