    I'm afer a 60mm stem, borrowed one off Mboy who got it from a website online but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the site.

    It was something like http://www.carboncc.co.uk or similar. Anyone got any ideas

    … or can recommend a cheapish 60mm stem for standard size bars?

    This site looks pretty interesting…. Stems for under £20?

    Are they made of cheese?

    Cool – just ordered what I was after.

    Not the most attractive stems but work a treat.

    That's clearly some sort of spoof website.
    It's not just those prices but they have carbon MTB wheels – the very thought of it!

    They have alu rims with a cosmetic layer of carbon so they can charge more and make you think you have carbon rims 🙂

    Their wheels are pretty rubbish. But other parts are good… They're not a manufacturer as you probably realise, just another Superstar/Nukeproof-esque rebrander but they have some nice stuff at good prices (I have the exact same stem as their alu one on the commuter, only under a different brand, and it's nothing flash but it works… And their carbon forks have done me fine) IIRC they're the same company as Discobrakes which I know people here use.

    They also give the perfect example of how rebranding works out differently for different companies. People think Exotic are a cheap option and Nukeproof are a quality brand, so they'll pay £85 for this:

    or £160 for this

    When the only difference is the stickers :mrgreen:
