surf some goddamn beans again already!!!!

Fail

Does this come with spare teeth for when you knock them out from this shit snapping?

before the hate comes in… none of you know how or what kind of plastic it is. neither do i but if its strong enough not to be stripped when u tighten the bolts then there is no reason why it would slip and even less of a reason that it would break.

now lets see the inbreeds fight over someithing they cannot know anything about

true dat. is the 9-5 gig a liitle tough for ya?

This stem is gonna get crazy amounts of hate but the truth is plastics have been around for years that are actually stronger than metal, I’m actually quite surprised it’s taken this long for something like this to come out. Say what you want about it, but I bet this stem holds up pretty well.

can’t fuck wit it………….. give it 2 blackman and c how long it last!

This is for fixqueers right?

Hey i don’t ride bmx cycles, but i do work at a plastic plant and this is a very smart idea. Plastic is one of the strongest materials known to man. Its lighter than metal, smoother than metal, has a higher melting temperature than metal, and is more see-through than some metals. If i was a racer i would use this front.

those threads would strip so easy.

Those threads like insanely fine

hahaha nice try…it’s more see-through than some metals, try all metals and what does that have to do with strength…smartass little turd. i thought it would take longer for bmx companies to start using high-tensile plastics in structural parts but obviously not…by the time we’re too old to ride, bikes will be completely made out of this shit!

nah, I’m good.

Plastic just shatters, you’d have no way of knowing it’s about to fail. Metal gives a little (unless it’s headtubes recently) so if it fails you tend to know about it first. Dangerous I’d say.

not long cause that dudes gona end up selling it in 2 days for some dank money

FUCK that.

everyone loves a good joke but this is just milking the cow for gold! n/h

i wouldnt anything plasti on the front end of my bike!!!

Morgan Wade once stated that he snapped a stem in half. I’d hate to see what he’d do to this.

you prove yourself wrong in your own post by mentioning the recent headtube fiasco, and those frames were steel. Aluminium, which most stems are made of is even more likely to snap rather than bend than steel.
Search high modulus plastic in google then hate.

fucking hell this makes me wanna take up scooters, fuck fuck i invented the best grind ever

my dad owns a plastic shop and i know that when you make plastic strong it also becomes brittle and the strength of the plastic changes between temperatures.

my Nylon bash guard was well tougher than my metal one!

what about a dust cap?

No thanks. I’m good with a metal stem.

it’s spelt ‘luc-e’ and pronounced lucky, definitely not lucy.

my dad invented plastic and can run faster then your dad so there.

if you really knew about materials you’d refer to them more specifically than ‘plastic’ and ‘metal’

it’s not april the first today is it?

might be lighter and it might be strong but that shit is so gay, why the heck would i want a plastic stem? isnt it gay enough with plastic pedals and pegs?

plastic stem = FAIL

must be some kind of extremely durable polycarbonate. I worked in an injection molding plant operating presses, and the pieces we put out were super strong and they were only 2-5 mm thick. I’m still gonna wait to see how these hold up though before i even consider riding plastic components.

if it snaps ur just gna land rib first on your steerer tube ……………………………….grim scene

i have a bachelor’s degree in plastics engineering, so i’m trying to provide the most educated insight on this product, not bash anybodies opinions on it. it looks like a polycarb by its translucency, but i’m sure they’re using a composite resin becuase plenty of companies are producing plastic components out of polycarbonate already and when i read this it sounded like they had stumbled upon a new resin nobody is using. the nylon parts a lot of ppl are running these days are fiber filled or glass filled nylon and you are not able to see through them at all. these fillers enhance the structural properties of plastics, especially in tensile and compressive loading conditions.

anyway.. the stem will be fine. it won’t crack or break, i can assure you guys of that. the threads, though, may be an issue. they should’ve just over-molded the stem onto metal inserts which hold the threads. polycarb has a good compressive strength (which is what the front loading screws are doing to the stem) but i’m sure a lot of users will over-tighten the stem and strip them out in fear that the stem will be too loose if they don’t

i’m anxious to see how this product turns out

those arent even real bolts. entire thng = 3d rendered. blatant lie

so its not using any strength enhancers, and then you say it will be fine? i dont follow. theres no way this thing would be even close to strong enough.

12345

There is a such thing as transparent aluminum you know. It’s not just Star Trek anymore.

profile did it

It’s a 3D render

haha so true

EPICCCCCCC FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

wow what a chody stem. calm your nuts

this is when you begin to wonder if bmx companies are beginning to put weight before strength just so they can make a few buck i evryone will go on about how stronger it is but i just reckon A and E will see alot more bmx casualties

i’m a science and i ride around with Chicago bars.

i fucked up. *scientist

“hey i don’t ride bmx” – ok opinion voided

punctuation helps, and if its just as strong but lighter at the same time, why not?

KABOOM!!!!!!!!!

ITS A RENDERING YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

The only plastic parts to catch on were pedals, and those have a metal spindle

this has metal bolts… what are you getting at?

WTF???? it looks retarded and practical at the same time. i could see this on a really light park or trails bike.

it must be good if theyve tested on there team…i mean none have died yet,
maybe they havent tested on there team
i am awaiting a ballpark crank style ad
“not even a blazer can crush our stem…oh shit it just did”

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH omg a plastic stem hahahahs so funny

matbe a plastic bar combo???

It looks like they are using sleeved bolts and or treaded steel inserts. I’m not standing behind this product until it proves itself, but I won’t be that surprised if it does. Technology with plastics has gotten crazy in the past five years.

Make a plastic frame already then.

haha surprised mr. plastics engineer didn’t catch the lack of parting lines… Rendering all day.

makes it lighter for flatland i guess ..fuck riding that for street. what happens if u keep going over bars on nose mannys or something stupid i bet if u do it enough it’ll crack

I could see a set of slip-in bolt/nut combo, or perhaps something similar to a mountain bike seat binder bolt, where the “nut” of it is similar to a hollow bolt, with threads on the inside to catch the stem bolt. That or do the JCPC setup, where they run a bolt into a nut that has a slot formed into the pedal. They could do something like that into the bottom of the stem, so they have steel or aluminum threads to catch, to minimize stripping out.

This could be a good setup for flatland, and possibly those who are smooth park or trails riders. But 99% of the street community will ignore any warnings from companies, run these, break them, and then whine that they are “weak pieces of crap”…just like they did with the Grim Reaper.

this is so stupid because one metal stem only wieght 8 oz why you want something more lighter. i don’t trust in that stem fail

pedals take aalot of abuse to but they seem to hold up well

the shitty part would be that it probably easy to strip the threads aon the stem

Blackman is the biggest loser in bmx. He wrecked my bros bike doing a 360 off a 10 ft quarter and didnt ask to use his bike or offer to fix it. Washed up crack addict trying to be a pro biker. Na son. That kids not cool in my book. Hes just a poser.

@rp
Fuck star trek, STAR WARS nigga!

shit, i didnt realise plastic makes a person gay. i better take my power rangers suit back to the shop.

=O

spoof.

still a bad idea none the less. u fuckin idiot.

I don’t care how strong this super plastic is! Such a crucial part in the system to chance running a piece of plastic.

haha win

it looks cool anyway…Will probably work as good as that one piece stem/bar combo KHE came out with hahaha

all right lads, you worked it out… rendering all the way. the stem is coming out, but not in plastic or cardboard or beerbottle glass, just alloy as our previous stems.
there’s a few previews on http://www.simplebmx.com, same file, now shown in alloy. Have a nice day. /N

nice oxy moron, high strength plastic

To avoid a thread problem they should mold the entire stem and handle bar as one piece. Sure you cant adjust your bars then, but as long as its pretty well inline with the forks it should work, unless your a midget on a long frame or a giant on a tiny frame. Other than that, if they can make the plastic hold up in all ways, its just another way for babies to get their bikes under the 20lbs mark so they can do hop double whips. Better yet, lets make plastic frames, wheels, remove all bearings and replace with bushings, plastic cranks.

Anyone remember the video with the guys on light up frames riding down a building, soon we could do that for real. How Uber Gay.

Headtubes broke on the weld. Aluminium gives first. Ride for longer than 5 months and you’d know. Google that you fucking prick.

INFINITE JAY MIRRON BAR POSSITION. FAIL

i wanna know who tested it , cause some riders i dont think i couold count on

I’ve been on a BMX for twelve years now, and worked for three of those years for a company that used plastics and composites for structural components. Plastic pedals seem to work OK.

WTF IS GOIN ON WITH BMX PARTS THESE DAYS? WHY WOULD U WANT SOME PLASTIC SHIT ON UR BIKE?TO MAKE IT LIGHTER BY 3 OUNCES? WTF GROW SOME MUSCLES OR GO TO GYM AND STOP BEING LITTLE PUSSY AND TRADE EVERYTHING FOR PLASTIC.BMX IS NOT SPORT FOR PUSSIES AND PPL WHO RIDE BIKE FROM POINT A TO B AND THATS IT.U MEANT TO DO TRICKS ON IT AND THIS SHIT WILL BREAK EVEN IF THE PLASTIC IS MADE OUT OF SUPERMANS SHIT

I think your refering to the Ductile / Brittle transition temperature. It’s true this affects plastics but it also affects most metals (including steel and aluminium) as well. Sadly my dad is fat, runs slow and hasn’t invented anything so i guess i loose.

Check http://www.simplebmx.com/ again you idiots!
It’s just a renderning ….

no fuckin chance

its fake… go to simple’s site…. theres a post about how it was fake……..

That’s pitiful.

they pc teeth doe

at this rate the whole bike is going to be plastic

it was a joke uffffff
http://www.simplebmx.com/

I can type two letters in caps over and over again too, but something tells me I’d look like a twat in doing so.

Just stop.

they are telling you it’s made out of a new kind of plastic in the description retard learn how to read

my dude’s dad is an aerospace engineer and when we were growing up we had skateboards made out of this plastic that wouldn’t break. when I got older i talked him into making a road bike frame out of it and the thing worked like a champ. way too much flex in the frame for me but whatever. they use it as casing on spaceships. the idea of having a high-grade plastic bmx stem probably isn’t that far off. I don’t think that the general public gets their hands on this kind of technology but I’m not sure. he built a hardtail mountain bike frame out of the plastic composite too and still rides it today, no problems at all and it weighs less than a pound.

i would sooo like to shoot you dave.

i always said about making pc stem but with aluminum reinforcements molded in for strength.

I’m willing to bet that stem is not a prototype, at least not in terms of a prototype of a stem that will be produced in aluminum. Look at the bolts for bars and fork clamping they are very unusual/highend looking with really fine threads which would seem ideal for tightining into some type of HDMP (high-density molecular plastic) and reducing the risk of stripping and ensuring that the bolts stay tight and the shoulders on the bolts are kinda odd looking as well. Well its the 21st century now I guess that means its time for all sorts of plastic bmx sillyness. Cool Idea but, im oldschool and, i think im gonna be sticking with my good ol S&M topload stem, just the same as I been rocking for the last 12-14 yrs. But I am willing to bet that this thing will work and stay tight and not just catastrophically fail or anything.

LOL no sooner do i look up a bit further and find a link to simple’s site saying that the PC one was just a joke, but im still from the school of thought that this could work!

IDK ABOUT PLASTIC? CONDISERING IVE BROKEN TWO METAL STEMS AND HAVE SEEN PPPL. AND THE BOLTS SCREWIN INTO THE PLASTIC WILL. STRIP IF IT HAD METAL SLEEVES MAYBE.GARENTEE A LOT OF KIDS ARE GONNA BE RIDIN THIS DO WE REALL NEED ANYTHIN LIGHT THAN 7.8 OZ STEM?

thank god its fake

long live the profile 40!!!

fuuck this whole weight saving shit is becoming crazy, and pointless! make a whole plastic bmx with no exception if the material is soo good
