Anybody tell me if the hope stems are any good im looking at the 70mm with 25degree rise. Im currently using a thomson and the main reason i want something different is just so i can have a bit of rise plus i like the colour red 😆

Yes, they’re fine – at least as much as any stem does its job. Certainly it’s not going to reduce your performance compared to the Thomson you currently have.

And it’s red.

As good as a Thomson, just a bit heavier and burlier-looking.
