Eastern Bikes Choker 3 Stem

I would never recommend this stem to anyone. I am a very casual rider mostly park with a little low risk street occasionally. Nothing about the way I ride my bike should ever break crack or bend anything and yet this stem managed to crack on the lower steerer tube ring a month into my second summer with it. Before it cracked it was notorious foe moving around on the steerer tube. It held the bars great front to back but moved around the steerer tube quite often.

so heres my story...i got the stem cuz of weight,and the lack of knee corners.it worked great and i was super happy with it untill it slipped. i didnt know about tension bolts. i loosend the main holder bolt tightened the tension bolt then retightened the main it worked again the snap! there goes my star nut. i replace it and it says will hold tighgt no need for jb weld or anything. it failed and headset would come loose i got to the point where i would hammer it in with the bolt and cap then SUPER tighten the main bolt then one day on my monthly bike cleaning i take i off cuz my headset clicks. egged and notched my forks. because it is slightly my fault for over tightening i wont blame the stem 100% just 90 but now i need new stem, forks, and headset. i dont recomend this stem to anyone

terrible never get it!!

well to the point im getting into riding and i just wanted to know if this was a good stem to begin with. im at the level where i can do G turns and im working on 180's i just need sum advice thx

it an ok stem but i wish i would have got something else

I think you should save up a little more for something better. It's not good and it ruins your headset. The only good thing about it is the looks and lack of corners to hit your knees on.

I have this stem in gold and i love it. It looks amazing and grips well.

great stem and for $35 theres no better deal out there

my number one choice for a stem
