I was thinking of upgrading my stem to a carbon one. I'm currently using a Syntace F-99. It's good but the screws started rusting and it makes a lot of 'eek-eek' sounds whenever I start climbing and pushing the handlebars.
I was looking through the web and found a few nominees:
1) Easton EC90 (Composite) - 130g
2) Easton EC70 (Composite/Alu) - 160g
3) ITM Millenium Carbon (Composite/Ergal)- 145g
I'm not very interested about the weight, but more particular about its quality. Has anyone used the a/m stems? Would be good if someone could give some reviews before I make up my mind. Thanx! :)
