|  | Favorite Ride: Molas and Wolf Creek Pass areas Bike Setup: Cannondale CAAD3 Ultegra, Spinergys Specialized Carbon Comp Ultegra,Open Pro's Summary: I actually bought mine thru Nashbar but Kalloy Uno is what the Forte' really is.
I like threadless stems on mtn bikes for strength and simplicity but threaded versions are great for road bikes.You can adjust height easily and the weight is only 2 onces more than a threadless setup.
The front clamp is an idea from mtn design and this makes handlebar and STI lever removal so easy. Be sure to grease the clamp area to prevent creaking noises.
Profile has a similar design and weight but costs much more.This stem works fine enough to prevent me from going threadless.Don't even worry about the weight,it's quite acceptable and miniscule. works good,thats all.
Strengths: No flex,reasonably light,front clamp makes handlebar removal easy. Can set height adjustment as opposed to threadless. Weaknesses: Some creaking on the clamp area,need to apply grease.
