They are beautifully made, if that counts for anything, and the thinking behind the design is really impressive. They are also quite light.
No- I don't like the way it focuses stress inside the steerer.
I think I'll cut down the alloy tube (that everyone hates) to match the clamping area of the stem and bond that in- it resolves all the forces in that area, and means I can fit it and forget it. Over engineered maybe, but peace of mind, and light enough.
