Custom BMX Stem Faceplate

This was an interesting part. A customer came in and explained to me that there’s a guy in Ukraine that casts these flatland BMX stems. He went on to tell me that it’s the only high rise BMX stem he could find anywhere. The problem is that the stems are cast out of aluminum that’s so soft, it’s like cheese. The original faceplate of the stem was so thin that it distorted and cracked eventually just from clamping a bar in place. The guy really liked the feel of the stem so I made him a faceplate.
