At my shop we sell this brand of accesories. I can get a good deal on some carbon bars and stem from this company, but i am a bit leary of the quality of build. I was looking at Easton originally, but now am finding these are a bit cheaper in price. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this brands carbon stems and bars? Also, should I even run a carbon stem on an XC bike? Thanks for info. if you have any.
