Marcel, I dont wish to put a damper on this but that looks very dangerous.
Could you please make sure that you test this out a good couple of weeks before you start to sell it as by leaving the bolts so long and with such open over hang could lead to some real problems.

My feelings exactly.
How much more simple could I have gotten with our stem looking as a final result? I have not ever seen a Bizhouse with slotted sides ever untill recently.

Nobody here is calling you out. Simply stating that that is a lot of overhang for small SHCS's. There is going to be a ton of torsion transmitted thru the stem via the handlebars and there isn't going to be much support with the long insert and longer SHCS's since everything will be hanging out the front of the rear body so much. The short ones will be fine, just a little weary of the long version.

From an engineering point of view, by leaving such a mass of bolts exposed you increase the threat of leverage. I personally believe you will find that anyone using this design will find bolt heads popping off left right and center. Not forgetting that the extra leverage will mess allot of peoples headtubes up with the wedge.

Let me also say, I am not trying to cause a problem.
But I am generally concerned about this design and possible dangers.

This stem had been tested for a while now at 38mm. No problems at all! Love it! Thanks for the advice though.  :beer:

What do you mean by "for a while"??
It's not enough to ride it for a couple of days to say it's safe and reliable!
Sorry name, you got to test that for a lot longer than "a while"..

Even my old Bizhouse had slotted sides. And I bought it in 2002! ;)

Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

I hope this was just a bad moment of yours because riders are sick of products that fail on them and if you can't just be selling a Stem that will fail in the middle of an Hang5, too dangerous to begin with and I'm sure you'd deny any responsibilities (I would too).

A bar end, a grip-stop or a headset spacer are small parts anybody can get done by a local shop, but to f.uck around with parts that can get you into serious trouble and you barely even tested (unless you were saving it from the beginning) is no joke.

I know you're all psyched with your new "company" but get a grip over yourself, this subject has been discussed forever and you will be flamed to hell if anybody looses a teeth over a failing part of yours.

Peace.

Its like he found a stockpile of blemmed bizhouses, machined the front plate so no star..And created a larger center piece for adjustabillity.

Its purpose is in the right direction, but man..something just seems weird about this..or is it just me?

The stem will not brake, no less than any other stem. Its been tested for over a month now at 38mm. and my machinist told me its 100 percent its all there with the strenth, equivilent to every otther stem I showed hime of all kinds to show him what stems look lik with bolts in the back and such. or I  wouldnt even ride it. Its been on my bike for quite a while now and not one problem.
