I recently got a nice 3TTT stem that's a Cinelli XA clone that doesn't have the stress riser relief circles on the steerer plug slot. I'm just wondering if this is going to have the same problem as the infamous Ava death stem that came on all those UO8's and French bicycle's?

I'd really like to use this stem because I like the XA stem's looks but don't like the handlebar ridges inside the clamp nor do I like the pinhole in the front where the button logo attaches on the front. And you never know if someone tried to clamp a 26.0 handlebar in a 26.4 stem making it even worse of an issue... Too many stress risers for a vintage quill stem at this late stage of a stem's life or mine either. But this has none of that, so I'd like to use it if possible.
