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,

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?

Stem parallel to TT parallel to ground. An imprecise use of the word 'everything.'

(Assumes a HTA in the region of 72-73°.)

Does this help.



Hoola hoops definitely add character.

^is that a 17° stem instead of a 10°?

They look very similar to 6 degree stems

Nope. They only have a 0 and 10 degree option.

There isn't much difference between 6^ and 10^ stems visually.

Some decent and not so decent photos of my bike with a -10 degree Thomson X4. Hope this helps.

I have a 10 degree on mine:

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

oops! wrong season!
