I have ordered these stems from eBay:

Cheap carbon stems and used them on both my MTB and my road bike. Pretty lite and have held up to all sorts of abuse. I use a 60mm version on my 26" "huck" it MTB, a 70mm on my 29er and a 110mm version on my road bike.

Run these for over 5 years without issue. Would never spend big bucks on a stem again.
