Since buying my Cube Race ive found the Easton stem supplied to long for me so today decided to add a nice little stubby job, much better riding position now :mrgreen:

really nice bit of kit, not cheap but quality so not bothered....

I love my X4. If you want bling Thomson now do the clamp covers and stem caps in nice anodized colours. They come in blue, red and gold if I remember correctly in a kit.

If its the right size, get the Salsa one, nice long lever for adjusting. The others look like they'll be infuriatingly difficult to operate with cold fingers in the middle of winter!

I thought he meant seat post not realising he was joking about qr stems lol. That'll teach me to read the post properly.
