Gone!

Ha! I nearly did the same but it would have only ended up in a box.

That’s not a Grove stem guys! As the listing states, it’s a clone

Oh I didn’t buy it, 1/8” too big for any of my bikes

I don’t know much about Grove so would have to follow your advice. How can you tell?

Grove Innovations stems have a separate aluminium quill section, with two wedges, one top and one bottom.

All the nice stuff getting cloned. We just have to be a lot more vigilant asking for close up high res pics to compare stuff.

All the nice stuff getting cloned now. We just have to be a lot more vigilant asking for close up high res pics to compare stuff.

I don’t think this is a recent clone though, or even a close copy? It’s very different apart from the ovalised tubing.

Does anyone know more about these stems?
I have two, One of each in 1" and 1 1/8".
Thanks in advance.
