^^^ same here!
Yes, it is. I am 280lb with my gear on and I have never had any hesitation to use it.
Love that stem..........I'm 230 and it has been great.
The laserdisc rims seem pretty solid. i ran the wtb laserdisc FR for 2 seasons. I beat the crap out of them and they didn't dent or crack anywhere. i only trued them 3 times over the 2 years too. The only reason i retired them is because i wanted a lighter wheelset.
id say go for what you can find cheapest or that are the lightest. when you get into dh rims there isn't too much you have to worry about.

I ran one for 3 seasons on my DH before I finally got a direct mount stem, bulletproof. The coating that they use seems a bit more tough than other companies powder coating I've taken many hits with it and it barely has a scratch.
WTF are you on about?! Reading comprehension fail. This thread is about STEMS.
Been running them for 3 seasons. ZERO complaints. Doubt there is a stronger stem made?
i would say it is the best non direct mount dh stem on the market, i have run the same one on my dh bikes since they came out 3 or 4 years ago, never a problem. go for it, bolt it on and forget about it, just grease those threads.
i heard the Dorado is a great fork too. it is also pretty light
oh wait, this is a thread about stems...woops
Oh yeah, this is the first drift thread on the RM.
And thomson stems rock, got them on all my bikes for years, never worried about them.
