[Review] Haro Big Block Stem
   by Charles | 02 Jul 2006 6:39 pm

Age of product- 2+ years
Type of riding - Street with little park
How often I ride - 3-5 hours 

I got this stem form my dad's girlfriend's son who used to BMX a lot and was into racing here and there then street specifically. I got it for free so I couldn't complain anyway. 

Weighing about 15 ounces its a lightish stem. This product also has great torsional stiffness, and rigidity, making this stem quite strong. I, being tall, held favor in the long reach of the stem. The only displeasure that I ever recieved from this stem was the fact that one of the lower of the two pinch bolts stripped out.

Being that the product is made by Haro, this factor most possibly turn people off, and I would have to admit, I thought the stem would suck.. I was mistaken greatly in this though. This is a great product, and one of the few Haro products that I actually held favor in.
My other stem was slipping alot and this stem I've had no problems with.

Price wise I would say this would have cost in the $30 range back in the day it was first produced. I cannot seem to find it in any mailorders now seeming that this is an older stem but to my knowledge I think they do have it on some of there completes.



Specs

Pros:

  • Strong
  • Reasonably light
  • Grips bars good

Rating

As the product went through two riders, including myself I'm going to have to give it a 9/10.

Costs: about unkown as the stem has been discountinued and is only sold OEM with completes.
