A few days ago Illes was telling me about a plastic stem that was being made. We were joking about how absurd that was, and I looked into it. I found one posted on The Come Up made by Simple. Got me all worried, then come to find out it's a joke! With all these plastic parts out there and all that other dumb shit like slit pegs and holes in frames, I honestly fell for the plastic stem hoax. My Odyssey Twisted pedals are the only plastic shit I want coming near my bike. They're cheap, durable, and slide like a motherfucker during grinds. Only thing that's gonna be sliding if you ran a plastic stem would be your face across the ground. I've had the same ORIGINAL Solid stem on every bike I've owned for years and believe me, for the little bit of weight I'm not saving, I get to keep my teeth!
