Product Information
Full details
The Easton EA90 Stem is designed for road and gravel cyclists who prioritize precise handling and weight efficiency without the fragility of carbon fiber. By utilizing an oversized boom diameter and high-grade alloy, it offers a stiff and responsive steering experience that rivals carbon alternatives at a competitive weight of 120 grams (100mm length); however, riders must ensure their handlebar diameter matches the 31.8mm clamp requirement to ensure a secure fit.

FAQs
Does this stem work with 1-inch steerers?
No, this stem is specifically designed for 1 1/8-inch steerers. You would require a shim, though it is generally not recommended for performance stems.
Can I flip this stem for a different rise?
Yes, you can install the stem in either the positive or negative 7-degree orientation to suit your preferred handlebar height.
What is the weight of the 100mm version?
The 100mm length weighs approximately 120 grams.
Is this stem suitable for mountain biking?
While durable, the EA90 is primarily optimized for road and gravel applications.
Does it include a top cap?
The stem typically ships as the stem unit itself; it does not include a headset top cap or bolt.
Troubleshooting
Creaking noise coming from the handlebar area.
Remove the faceplate, clean the contact points with isopropyl alcohol, apply a light coat of friction paste (if using carbon bars), and re-torque to manufacturer specifications.
Handlebars slipping or rotating under pressure.
Check that the faceplate is tightened evenly and that all four bolts are torqued to the correct value; ensure the handlebar surface is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your fork's steerer tube is cut to the appropriate length for a 1 1/8-inch standard. When mounting, slide the stem onto the steerer tube and tighten the rear bolts incrementally in an "X" pattern to ensure even clamping pressure. Always use a calibrated torque wrench, as over-tightening can damage both the stem and your handlebars. To maintain the stem, wipe away sweat or grit from the faceplate and clamp bolts periodically to prevent oxidation, especially if you ride in humid or salty environments.
