10-12 degree stems?

[Pdavis91]

I’m trying to find some 10 or 12 degree stem to choose from. My 6 degree and too high, 17 is too low. Any Goldilocks out there?

I’m interested in the pro vibe, but not too sure about the puzzle clamp business. Also not to into the gargantuan Zipp sprint sl type-stems.

PRO Vibe, Thomson X2 or X4, Easton EA90 all come in 10 degree versions.

No issues with the puzzle clamp. Set it and forget it. Also the PRO stems are easy to de-logo and look pretty slick as such.

I've been down this rabbit hole. Here's what I found:

-super ugly and expensive 3t Integra carbon stem is 10deg (and their MTB stem is 10deg but the longest option is 100mm)
-Zipp SL Sprint is 12deg
-Easton has 2 options at 10deg; the EC90SL and the EA90
-Thomson X4 is 10deg
-Sim Works has really pretty 10deg stems (good option if it is going on a steel bike)
-And... stay with me on this one, the Deda Superzero is 8deg, but it has an ULTRA low stack height (compared to other modern stems) so puts your bars a few mm lower than a Thomson X4 10deg would.

Extralite and the new FSA stems both come in 12 degree flavors

Pro PLT or Pro Vibe both come in -10 and look good with the logos wiped off.

Thomson makes a 0 degree and 10 degree in a 2 bolt (X2) and 4 bolt (X4). I've had zero issues with either on carbon and alloy bars.

I've also never had any issues with the Pro Vibe puzzle clamp.

agree.

Great suggestions. I like the looks of the Pro Vibe 7s. Not too sure about the integrated top cap of the new one.

The FSA SL-K stem though... that clamp looks BEEFY. Not too sure I like it, but the longer I look at it, the more I do.

Thanks!
