Threw some Perfect 10’s on the old bike and I was curious why these fell away. Not safe or just a style thing. Could care less about the style part but really don’t wanna die…
I think the weight savings/ vs strength and how it looks just didn’t catch on.
Not me though, I have the t1 cyclops stem 😉

Cause they sucked. They never stayed tight.

I’ve heard people not liking the stem becuase the strength was lacking and heard of people snapping it, also during this time feel the topload stem got popular.

I had one for a while and never complained about it. They are very tall and require quite a lot of fork, I changed frames and the new one had a taller head tube and I couldn’t use it anymore.
They do slip every now and then, you have to keep retightening them which sucks.

I forgot about these; buddy had v1 and v2- Slipping bar crushers for sure. Over engineered like the shadow chains IMO, for minimal to no advantage. And top load became more popular at this time. Rad to see one still being used

Talking about the stem btw.
TIA
I love odyssey. But it’s a junk stem.

I actually just bought one, Sequence Hook V2 26mm from FlatSociety. It should be here within the next week. I’ll make a new post and keep you guys updated.[Sequence Hook V2](https://flatsocietybmx.com/collections/stems/products/sequence-flatland-stem)
