Paul Component Announces 35mm Box Stem by echoscommunications

PRESS RELEASE: Paul Component

You spoke and we listened by machining down our popular Boxcar stem to the desired 35mm length for modern mountain bikes. We designed this stem from the ground up to be stiff, strong and very light. It took several design iterations and 1,000,000 cycles of above normal use stress without a single problem to pass in-house benchmarks and achieve the combination of those three principles. Extensive, real-world and machine testing have proven this to be one strong stem.

As with all Paul Components, this new stem is manufactured in Chico CA to the absolute highest quality and standards. Obsessive computer design time, the highest quality American 2024 alloy, and precision machining utilizing over 20 different end mills, drills, saws and taps were all used to make 1 stem. The 35mm Boxcar stems come in a zero rise and utilize stainless steel T25 Torx type screws all while weighing in at an astonishing 118 grams complete.

• Material: American 2024 Aluminum

Yeah, I had a Paul component crank that snapped peddling uphill on a road. I was lucky it did not kill me or pop a ball. When I called them up they said "Yeah, we've been hearing that and we are in the process of putting out a new one. Have a nice day."

I snapped a clamp bolt on my Paul TD Handsome seat post and it took a year to get a replacement bolt, but I'm not here to pile on. They are small AF but could use a little more responsive CS Fr Fr.

That would be great if it didn't have torx bolts. Seriously?
