Origin8 Fix8 Stem

I recently bought a used fixed gear and the stem that came with it felt weak and not rigid when pulling/pushing on the handlebars and I wanted to replace it. The Origin8 Fix-8 Ahead Stem seemed to be an affordable option for what i needed, and the product did not disappoint. The stem light yet durable, easy to install, and aesthetically looks great on the bike. Overall a great product for the price. I would recommend this to product.

I have not mounted it yet. It looks great. Is clearly not for the weight weenie biker. Is basically a solid piece of aluminium with a center hole bored into it for minimal weight reduction.

The media could not be loaded. I use this because I changed bars on a Fat Tire BMX and it worked out perfectly put a hangers on it looks dope the neck itself is high quality steel went together just fine works perfect kudos

Pretty much the only thing going for a true BMX stem that is 1/8 x 25.4mm without spending big bucks. Seems sturdy, looks great on my SE hefe, but was a bit heavier than I expected.

Great stem that I paired with the Velo Orange Klunker Bars. This is a light stem for a bmx stem, but heavier than most mountain bike stems.

This stem is well made. A good, solid product that looks nice. Actually looks a little better than the photo.

You will read previews where people say "it's great" or "it stripped - sucked", but often they won't explain what they were trying to accomplish with this. This stem is not good for long ape hangers like 25" if you are leaning back and pulling hard on them, because this stem is aluminum and wasn't designed for that. For average handlebars like cruiser/straight/drops, this will work fine and clamp down nicely. If wanting to use for ape hangers I would suggest something steel or a more rugged alloy. Notice the 8nM written on the bolts section - that 8 represents how hard you can torque each bolt - if you overtorque the bolt past 8nM it will strip, just like it's spec'd.

Solid stem. With an aggressive look. Handles well.
