Great looking stem This is an awesome looking stem which will draw admiring comments and looks. Will it shave 10% off your finishing times? No. 28 December 2015

Good stem. Poor quality Garmin mount. Great stem, easy to fit, good quality clamps for steerer and bars, and has received lots of praise from other riders who like the neat and tidy look when the Garmin Edge is mounted. If only I could say the same for the cheap rubbishy plastic Garmin mount itself. The sole reason anyone would buy this product is to mount their Garmin direct to the stem. Unfortunately, the Garmin mounting plate is of poor design and poor build quality. It attaches via a plastic 'tongue' or lug at the rear of the plate which sits inside a slot that's cut into the metal 3T stem. The front edge of the plastic mounting plate is then fixed in place via a screw from underneath. In my opinion, the plastic lug isn't long enough to extend properly into the rear slot, with barely 2mm of overlap, and I've had the mount 'pop' out of place at this rear point on a couple of rides. Also, the front edge of the mounting plate should fit directly flush with the front edge of the 3T stem, but in my case there is a distinct 'under-bite' going on, so as you screw the mount down onto the stem, it pulls the mount forward further, which only aggravates the problem at the rear where the lug barely engages in the slot. A big disappointment. Wiggle have very kindly exchanged the mount twice for me, but each replacement is only a marginal improvement-if any - on its predecessor. 31 August 2015

Poorly made The actual stem itself is very well made. I did have one incident when the handlebars drooped on me even after i tightened it to the stated force. The Garmin holder for the front is a bit of plastic which was obviously made on the other side of the world as it really doesn't fit at all. 3T make great stems but this isn't one of them and Garmin should work more closely with 3T if they're going to release times like this. 18 January 2014
