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.
