10 Degrees Stem Owners!
Can anyone here post pics of their 10 degree stems? I'm thinking about picking up a thomson x2 stem in the near future. Was wondering how cool it will look on my road bike.
Cheers, Susan |
If you're worried about aesthetics of stem angles a lot depends on the angle of the top tube in my opinion. Frames with a slight slope look best with a mid angled stem (-6 to -12°) whereas a horizontal top tube often looks good with a -17° to make everything parallel.

Parallel to what?
(Assumes a HTA in the region of 72-73°.) |
Does this help.

^is that a 17° stem instead of a 10°?

They look very similar to 6 degree stems

I have a 10 degree on mine:

Yeah, the extra 4 degrees really increases the cool factor.
