    Need a new stem for the Spicy. I’ve always gone for Diabolus stems but fancy a change, thinking Point One Split Second (but stupid expensive), or maybe anThomson X4. I’m not too keen on the Hope stems, so they are out. Anything else worth considering?

    Gusset Staff. It looks ok, is pretty light and doesn’t cost the earth.

    Easton Havoc? Still not sure about it myself, graphics are a bit OTT:

    Gusset Staff is really nice. Bit glossy though. But cheap, light, and works just as well as all these expensive ones.

    Pro FRS is good too.

    MUCH cheaper than the others you mention, and oddly enough looks as if it was as expensive to make!

    Picked mine up on eBay in as new condition for £20, but even rrp is cheap on them compared to the competition

    Thomson 50mm for me, i got mine from crc for £50 – couldn’t believe they had one less than 200mm long in the sale, its now back up in price, mail me if you want a crc voucher though if that helps.

    I have these on a couple of bikes, another Thomson rip-off probably but no complaints from me…

    Gotta say I love my Thomson..

    Hard to fault the Thomson. And you’re not going to look at it in five years and think it looks dated, like some of the other options. Simple, elegant quality.

    That’s the view of the Renthal stem from the good side.

    It’s got an interesting face….

    It’s beautiful from any angle. Like me.

    Thomson for me too. A mate has a Renthal, I think it looks just a little bit ugly.
