Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone here has already tried the new Pro Vibe Carbon stem and would give us a feedback on it.
Also is this stem (in combo with the Pro Vibe Aero handlebar) has the same problem with computer mount than the alloy vibe one.

Looks good, not really light, but I didn't expect that from PRO, furthermore they don't call it "superlight".
But why do they still have the silver shining elements in their stems? All black would be nicer in my eyes and would fit "modern" bikes better.

Good find. Looks like a prime candidate to replace the Venge stock stem (-80g). The page says "universal mount options available". But I gotta see what those look like and so far am not finding them.

120g in every sizes. Guess it would've been too much work to weigh all 5 of them..

I found this customer review and picture on Sigma Sports online shop :
Looks great with the vibe bars. Only issues are there aren't enough holes to integrate the hoses and wire, had to dremel it out. And the K-Edge specific mount does not sit straight.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Some brands need to develop an out-front stem mount for vibe carbon stem. I definitely dislike the K-edge mount for vibe aero which is not in straight.

Well, Pro says that there is an universal mount option available on their product page...

I was thinking buying the stem to make company with my Pro vibe aero ultralight but the fact that the k-edge not being straight is a bo way for me.

Is that the specific Pro-Kedge mount for the vibe aero handlebars? Damn, I was considering this stem too to replace my regular pro vibe stem to the carbon one.

This drove me nuts! So much so that I returned the K-Edge mount and switched the Pro Vibe alloy stem for a spare Bontrager XXX one so I could use the Blendr mounts instead.

I added pictures on the first post... and maybe we could add a front mount between the jaws of the stem.

Does anyone know some real-life weights (90mm)?
I assume that the 120 gram on the Pro-site isn't very accurate :)

Did anyone manage to work out a mount solution that is aligned? Love the bar/stem but my OCD would drive me insane having that offset
