    I've had mine on my mtn bike for over 9 months and I've zero problems. I'VE also go the wave bars installed. Both have held up just fine and Ive gone on some rough trails and small jumps. Although, I am mindful about not landing with hardly any weight on the bars, just in case they break. But man, they look and feel nice. I saved myself like 150 bucks.

    Just bought one myself, along with a set of Wake bars for my budget fat bike, (£6.76 for the bar, £3.98 for the Stem) I had exactly the same problem as you, needed another spacer, didn't have one :D . Just took a chance, half expecting them to be garbage, but they are great, amazing value.

      Ashley Thomas depends on the handle bar thickness. Older handle bars have 1in thick bars where they clamp. (No bulge)
      Most modern (1998+ bikes) will have 31.8mm clamps. (Bulge on the bars)

      It's a lower price because they make a ton of them on the cheap. Savings is passed when buying directly from manufacturers as opposed to bike shops tacking on extra. So in a bike shop you would feel better at a 30$ price when it costs them 10$.
