ZOMFG another integrated stem!! It's...about the same weight...and probably same strength...and about the same geometry as everything else out there!
More info on the Thomson DM stem

Anyone know if you have to run it with no rise or can it be turned over to provide some rise?
No, you can't.
sub 100 grams for a stem is just retarded...lose your dj saddle and your there. Especially for DH bikes...you really wanna hang it out on that tiny piece of metal. Some of this stuff is getting outta control. Too much road influence these days....
Come on man, Huffy in China has ISO 9001. It doesn't say anything about performance, just that your sticking to whatever standards you've set for yourself.
Yeah because the people running <100g stems will be running dj saddles...
Guh. I worked in a print shop for years and went through the whole ISO process.
What a waste of time and money, to have books all over the place describing my job to me... Not a selling point, more of a gimmick.
Really sexy stem, but I'm not keen on the lightning. The solid colors look amazing though. The M faceplate is a little gimmicky, but forgivable.
Awesome job man!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry....
PS Thomson is also a contract manufacturer, DERP

Worked in finishing anf 8k for aero and 9k for aviation is what we started in place. We did some military samples and had a open door to bid a boeing contract that would have gone good had the shop been cert'd.
Dont know about printing but in the NW especially with all the stuff in tricites, oregon and seattle it was a good thing to have.
apparently ISO9001 is good for making ugly stems in a systematic order
ISO 9001 in a print shop? Strange.
It's a phenomenal certification, but not really useful in the small scale production arena. But in mid to high end production environments, it's very important. It sets the bar to make sure you provide the best level of production, service, safety and uniform quality when dealing in a high traffic, high volume and varied environment.
The "ISO 9001 for Dummies" would read..."We make quality pieces fast and won't go out of business any time soon because the fork lift driver isn't ripping off the roof or impaling engineers."

HMMMMM! endorsed by octamom!
If my custom title is the scarlet letter of shame, yours is the equivalent of a pentagram on your forehead.

LOL - exactly. Each stem is precisely as ugly as the last.
pentagon or pentagram?If my custom title is the scarlet letter of shame, yours is the equivalent of a pentagon on your forehead.
Didnt you know, wars were planned on that forehead!

nice edit. lol
...fixed.
The print shop I worked for was high count book binding. Small jobs would be around 1000 books. Standard was around 20k. High quality printing too, as we did accounts for photo-chop tutorials...
Yeah, something tells me ISO took some licensing expansion concepts and got a little carried away. I can imagine it helping your company run a tighter ship, but not to the point that your costs for certification would EVER be made up in increased orders from people desperately needing highest of the high quality print.
Now in automotive...where people DIE if you don't do it perfect all day every day....ISO 9001 is pretty important.
do any manufacturers actually use ISO 9001 in the auto industry?Now in automotive...where people DIE if you don't do it perfect all day every day....ISO 9001 is pretty important.
we did at magnaflow and Car Sounds
ISO 9001 was absorbed into a new standard called QS 9000 for the automakers, which was a much larger effort. Now even QS 9000 has been replaced by TS16949. And some car makers use their own systems. It's a continual metamorphesis.
It sounds like a paperwork nightmare (and it indeed it can be), but it can actually be very beneficial to large mass production companies. As someone said earlier though, not relevant to small companies really, where a few folks with pride in what their doing can achieve the same level of quality.
ISO
Not iso
so win,qft
On a side note,iso is pretty important dealing with million dollar clients.
Organisation is critical in some fields.
Automotive industry I beleive not.Most business's or enterprises are proud and will have it on their site.Some compagnys will only ship with transit lines that are iso.
Its serious business,and so is thomson.
So wen can I get a thomson dm.

Continental Teves brake foundations and Borg Warner turbo systems both participate in one of the above, if not more than one certification system.
I know specifically Germany and England have multiple supply chains that focus on these standards.
the factory in TW that was pumping out the wonky Evil Revolt frames was ISO 9001 certified...
...which tells you all you need to know about the reliability of the standard

hahaha love the tags.
Yeah wasn't the cracks due to a stress riser which is a direct result of the design and designer not the actuall company making what they were given plans for.......just a thought.the factory in TW that was pumping out the wonky Evil Revolt frames was ISO 9001 certified...
...which tells you all you need to know about the reliability of the standard
well with all the QC problems they had, the older breaking frames is entirely different issue
