My mistake! I meant to write that the XA stem is 35 grams HEAVIER than the 1A, so this jives with the info you received elsewhere. Sorry about the typo!

The result is that the XA stem is approx. 35 grams lighter than the new logo 1A of the same length. The 1A stem however, appears to have an aluminum cone nut, while the XA has a steel cone. Both stems have chromed steel quill bolts, and all parts are believed to be original. Hope this helps...
