Replaced my stock 90mm stem with the 80mm ABS300 to shorten the reach a bit. The 6061 aluminum feels solid, and the 97g weight is respectable for the price. Installation was straightforward – the 31.8mm clamp fit my handlebars without any shims or gaps. The four-bolt faceplate distributes clamping pressure evenly, and the stem didn't slip during hard out-of-saddle efforts.
After about 400 km of mixed terrain, no creaks or loosening issues. The 7° rise gives a slightly upright position without looking awkward. For $12, it's a reliable piece that does exactly what you'd expect.
