I’m looking at getting a new stem and have come across this – Maxm MX2. Not heard of this make before although think I may have seen some carbon bars in a mag years ago.

Have any of you tried this before? Don’t know whether to go for it at that price The only isue I have is that it’s a two bolt face plate where as I think a four bolt would be stronger. What say you…

I have Maxm carbon bars (MX-5) & seatpost on my Titus from 2003 & still going strong. Reasonably light, work, have a wierd criss cross thing to stop total separation in event of a FAIL, but not needed so far. (Bike routinely thrashed & dropped at speed in the peak, so had it’s fair share of abuse.)

Wouldn’t have been first choice but perfectly workable etc for a mid – high quality component.

re 2 bolts:

before they went all 4-bolt, easton tried to send back the tide with this
