Title: Simple Eject v4 (plastic stem)
Post by: Hugo @ Portugal on February 18, 2010, 10:30:26 PM: Quote from: Simple
After doing massive material research we came across this High Strength Plastic, with an incredibly high molecular mass. This allows us to make a very light, yet very strong stem without compromising on the durability. We have taken this stem through a lot of testing and abuse to see how it would hold up, and so far it's proved to last very well.

As funny as that sounds, it will be true in 20 years or so. More and more plastics are introduced into our industry. We already have plastic pedals, pegs, peg end caps, bar ends, seatposts, seats, and we ran plastic tuff wheels back in the day. It won't stop there.

I just like road bike parts more than bmx parts is all. I don't doubt it'll happen though. I think we need to start focusing on natural materials for the environment though. The newer generation of Nankai freecoasters should use real Bamboo!
