Crys Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 just took a closer look at everythingthe threads are completely wiped.....it looks like I'm in the market for a new stem does anyone know of a stem that'll fit a Cyclone base?.....I'd prefer to get something other than a sahara smoke stem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 JB weld will fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumann Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Don't waste your time with JB Weld unless you plan on re-sculpting the threads. Sahara is sorta junk anyway. The threads from my stem (idk if you are having this problem yet) wore out within a couple of months. I would save up and invest in a MYA. I bought a Mya Diva at a store for $50. You can find some good deals online for 'em too. Seriously though, you'll notice the difference just by picking the thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcracer_tx Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yeah, the double hose I had from sahara smoke was pretty poor quality, I would just save up and buy something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
