I think the Atomlab 35mm stem is one of the lightest.
The Thomson 50mm stem is way light.
The Thomson 50mm stem is way light.
Ya, the new thomson is super light. I was pretty surprised at how light it was when i received mine.
Thomson I would bet.
Not only light, but it works great as well.Transcend said:
I don't think I twisted that new one all year.
Do you have an X4 or the regular?Jeremy R said:
If only Thomson made a 35mm version.
The Hope 50mm is probably the lightest at 145 grams.

I think thats an XC stem
How many XC people ride a 50mm 90 degree stem?TheMontashu said:
anyone that is short that has a gary fisher
If you can deal with lack of strength and increased flex, a Ritchey WCS stem would be way light. I don't know how short they come, though. I personally run a 70 or 75mm Thomson and it's perfect. The one thing I don't like is the bolts tend to sieze up, even with grease.
What do you mean by siezing up?
is that you ian? it doesn't really sound like ben coz he isn't a weight weenie.bullit_boxxer said:Wats the lightest 50mm stem that mounts to the steerer??
hope stems are really light and yes they make short sizes, but not sure about the flex. just go with thomson since you already have dents on your steerer tube, the thomson would fit perfectly into those dents.
X4. I like it alot better than the regular Thomson stem.The Kadvang said:
