Girvin Flex Stem - Brilliant or Rubbish?

[BarneyRubble]

I've been quite keen to try a flexstem, does anyone know, did they make short ones? Like around 100 - 115mm length?

Yes they did - I had a fluoro yellow alloy one that was about 115mm BITD. As an early alternative to suspension forks for those of us yoofs who weren't too flush they worked well. I wouldn't say it was great over really rough stuff, but definitely removed a lot of trail buzz and made my wrists feel less fatigued (important when you are a 13 year old boy!). :twisted:
