bout to say. thats one stem that wont break if it does it may be time to get this beast.... www.sicklines.com/news-images/race_face_d2_stem9s.jpg

 Haha. The guys at the shop were saying I should get that instead. But they're all confident in this one, plus I have a very detailed receipt and Chromag is apparently good to deal with. OGC was dropping the ball so fucking hard on the Easton, I didn't want to potentially go through it again.

 ive yet to hear anyone with complaints about chromag stems of any sort. is that the ranger or the hi-fi?

also the purple looks sick cant wait to see it mounted up. gonna get moar purple swag?

 Chromag is the tits. Seriously. Such a great company.

 It's the Ranger. This is the only purple I have planned. Bizarrely it looks awesome on my bike (imo of course).

 im picturing it and as far as my imagination can tell it should look pre swag

 That's what I thought, but it just works.

 Pretty narrow.

 Little less than 2" I'm assuming? I do like the clamp bolt placing though.

 I took it off my bike actually. It slipped a bit, I had to tighten it so hard one of the bolts bent (my own fault of course, but it wasn't cutting it otherwise), and it is quite flexy. Bearing in mind it's an all-mountain stem I'm not mad, just I'll be saving it for a different bike. Of course you own one now so my review is useless. Looks amazing on your bike though.

 I have felt the flex ,that might be a combination of flexy old topsoils and an am fork,and some creaking but no slipping yet (touch wood). Back on the ssc for now?

 Yeah - until I find something better.

 i was going to say... green would look real nice. wish they made a black one

edit: they do, didnt see it in the pics... possibly my next stem
