ITM Krystal Stem on Mountain Bike?

[DaiP]

A bit of a long shot but has anyone got any experience of running an ITM Krystal titanium stem on a mountain bike?
I’ve been searching around for a 1 inch quill stem for my current mountain bike project and coming up with not a lot to be honest. However, I’ve spotted an ITM Krystal titanium stem of the sort of length and rise I’m looking for. Until today I have to admit I’d never heard of this stem but it seems to be (from what I can find) predominantly a road bike stem. My concern with using this on a mountain bike is how strong will it be as it seems to be quite lightweight. Not that I’ll be riding this bike particularly hard. I’ve got a more modern bike for that. Any advice good bad or indifferent welcomed. Thanks.

I think it will be fine, but road stems tended to be for 26.0 bars not 25.4. worth checking that element out before you buy, and seek other opinions other than my own about whether it's suitable from a safety/use perspective.

Yes. Thanks. Of course, I forgot road bars tend to be a different diameter.
