A – You may flip any Thomson stem to create different rise options. The logo on the 10° X4 stems is reversible so you may run negative and the logo will not be upside down.
Q – Can X4 be used on a Roadbike?
A – Yes, X2 is lighter and allows better aero-bar compatibility, but if you want to use X4 on a 31.8 Road or ‘Cross Handlebar you may.
Q – Is X4 safe for carbon fiber?
A – X4 is engineered to work very well with both carbon handlebars and carbon steerer tubes. All torque requirements in our instructions must be strictly followed for carbon components. Our carbon bars work nicely with X4!
Q – Does a Thomson 1.5″ stem fit Cannodale® Forks?
A – Yes and no. Some Cannondale bikes are now shipped with 1.5″ traditional forks and our 1.5″ stems will fit. Newer Lefty’s use the OPI combination steerer tube/stem, and none of our stems will fit. Older Lefty and Headhshock stems are 1 9/16″ and our stems will not fit. If you are not sure, measure the steerer before you buy. This is a good time to go to a bikeshop!
Q – Why did you change steerer clamps on X4? Were there problems with the old clamp?
A – We changed to save weight. There were no problems with the old clamp but it did add about 20 grams.
Q – What is the stack height of the X4 Stem?
A – 40.6mm.
