Does anyone have this Thomson stem lying around?

I need a Thomson stem, 26.0 clamp. Thomson is biased to 25.4 or 31.8; apparently they'll make the X2 in a 26.0 clamp if the logistics align, but not anytime soon. The 26.0 was only made in the Elite and has since been discontinued. Not running 26.0 bars in a 31.8 clamp, so that's not an option.

It's really a tough item to find, but my build isn't moving forward without it.

Black, 100mm or less, 26.0 clamp, 1 1/8 steerer. 5 or 10 degrees +/- rise, nothing over 15, preferably 5.

Anybody have one of these lying around?

I was in the same dilemma as you a few months ago. Luckily, I found one on ebay so you could try there, but it did take me a few weeks. Good luck though

You could always use the 31.8 with a shim.... Not the most preferred method but it works just as well.

This thread is starting to sound like a classified ad which is prohibited unless you upgrade your membership.

Any talk of solutions will be tolerated.

Any talk of buying or selling and the thread will be trashed.

26.0 is an old standard that wasn't around for long that's why it's hard to find 26.0 stems.

26.0 bars in a 31.8 clamp is your best option...or you can get some new bars. Period.
