FSA K Force

Price Paid:  $200.00 at Findley Lake Sportin

Favorite Ride:
Presque Isle State Park

Bike Setup:
Cannondale R-5000, Sram Force, Ksyrium elites or Zipp 404s, Fizik Arione, FSA bar and stem.

Summary:
This stem if very beautiful and very strong and stiff, been using for almost a year, owned it for longer, but can ride only so much during the year. I'm using with the FSA-wing bar, alloy one, and works great for comfort and stiffness. Got to be careful though, i put a light scuff on the bar because the bar clamp surface is roughed to hold the bar better.

Strengths:
Stiff, Good looking carbon.

Weaknesses:
Roughed surface inside bar clamp area can scuff your bar.

Anyone I am on!!!!

Bike Setup:
Serotta Ti with full record, ksyrium SSC SL, FSA K-Force mega-exo compact, and all the trimmings.

Summary:
This is a pretty fantastic stem. I have mated it up with FSA's K-Wing bar and it looks killer! My buddies were so jealous that they went out and bought them. Really stiff, maybe not as lite as you would think, but it almost looks like a baby's arm and fist. Very cool look to it and very stiff. Along with bar and fork takes road vibration away!

Strengths:
Stiff, weighs nothing, wicked looks, envy from friends.

Weaknesses:
Be careful with bolts and tightening. Buddy snapped the carbon along a bolt on the steerer because he was not paying attention. Stil worked, but there were tears. Nuff said!
