This stem will save your neck and back. Traditional road bike frames often don't have the bars high enough for most people. This stem really brings the comfort level up. The stem is well made where it counts. The expander wedge is very well made. Sometimes old quill stems were known to break at this very critical part. Nitto quality shows. You can be assured a more comfortable ride when you raise the bars up. Reduce neck and back pain. There is no need to have a race oriented posture when not riding professionally. For those who want to have the efficient properties of a road bike and the comfort of a "comfort bike" this stem is needed.
