Christmas Countdown Day 24 – Thomson Bar & Stem

Christmas Countdown Day 24 – Thomson Bar & Stem

Welcome to Day 24 of our big Goodbye to 2020, Hello to 2021, Advent/Christmas/New Year Daily Countdown Giveaway. Today, as with every day in our GHACNYDCG, you have two chances to win. Let’s see what it is today.

Thomson Elite 800mm bar & stem combo

What can we say about these items from top cockpit manufacturer, Thomson? Not a great deal to be honest – there’s no moving parts in bars and stems which tends to leave them a little unromantic in the bike upgrade stakes. However, thinking that bars and stems are not that important would be a mistake. The position, sweep and width of your bars and the length of your stem can have some of the most dramatic affects on your riding and so they are really worth paying some attention to.

Here are some detail son today’s giveaway items.

The Thomson Elite Bars

  • Backsweep: 9 degrees
  • Centre Rise: 10mm, 20mm and 25mm.
  • Upsweep: 5 degrees.
  • 7050 Aluminium.
  • Butted & tapered for optimal fatigue life.
  • Advanced Hydraulic Press forming.

Thomson Elite Stem

The Thomson 35mm X4 stem allows you to realise the benefits of stiffer forks and stiffer 35mm bars. X4 offers precise steering, tracking and more control while riding, all wrapped up in a beautiful design.

While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.

  1. OH-bergine or OR-bergine? I had a whole discussion about this with someone recently.

    Now I can’t remember how I say it. Help!

  2. Still the only stem manufacturer in the world that thinks faceplates are a consumable and it’s perfectly normal for them to break in half after a few years.
