Aiight, well its christmas, and im choosing what i want,
Looking at stems, I want something gold, 7075 and front load.
So far I've found the Colony Offical, and the Odyssey Elementary (i dont really like the look of the CFL, and its not really much of an upgrade IMO)
Ive heard the Elementary slips, and ive seen Colony Bolts snap.
Whats should i get?
And if you know of any more options, that'd be cool too.

Yeah i did have a look at the DLR
i wanted it, until i realised it was 6061 sad
There isn't much point going 6061 to 7075, especially when thats $100 bucks i could use elsewhere.

thanks for the gratz.
i got to 450 without even trying, and i would have kept going but i wasn't expecting it so i stopped looking around at 450. I reckong ill get the 5 if i look to it. :D

Yaaah so any stem should last you and me fine.

Very few stems are made out of 7075 aluminum. Personally stems almost never snap (if you use them the right way, ex: Hardcore street on a racing stem is not the right way)

I would just get the fit, they're really nice.

Yeah i did have a look at the DLR
i wanted it, until i realised it was 6061 sad
There isn't much point going 6061 to 7075, especially when thats $100 bucks i could use elsewhere.

thanks for the gratz.
i got to 450 without even trying, and i would have kept going but i wasn't expecting it so i stopped looking around at 450. I reckong ill get the 5 if i look to it. :D

No you wont. big difference between 450 and 540.
Took me a long time to get that extra ooomph for street fives.
