Strengths:    Light weight, cost

Weaknesses:    No etched graphics. Not the Prettyist stem on the market.

Bottom Line:   
I use the F99 135mm with the Ti bolt kit on my mountain bike.

At 112g I believe this is just about the lightest most durable stem on the market for road or mtb. You'd be hard pressed to find a lighter stem.

Out on the trails riding cross country I dont have any problem with steering or flexing. It just simply works.
