Check out hcor.net for an exclusive on Thomson's new X4 stem. Made for 31.8 bars. Note that they went away from the clamping mechanism used on every stem they've made to date. They're back in back.

Meh, only 3 months late. Not bad for how terrible this industry is at delivering on time. I mean cripes, you make the stuff in-house and can't deliver lol. That said, guess I'll put in my order Monday! 
And thanks to Thomson for dropping the silly steerer clamp.

hey sweet. a thomson stem with a bigger hole in it....great.
I like the torque call out that's lazer etched. It's cool but not really that much cooler than any other stem to date, oh well everybody's gotta have one on emptybeer and fuschiabike so we might as well get 'em too.
Says patent pending, what's to patent? Can anybody make out that number and post a link to the patent application, I'm to lazy to do it myself.

Damn.. I love the old clamping method.. nothing to hit my knees on at all.
I dont need 31.8 when the EA70 still comes in 25.4...

What was wrong with the old clamping method? I'm not saying it's superior, but I've never had any problems with it.
The only problem with the clamping method is people who can't install them correctly and post bad reviews about how the stem won't stay put. I'm sure Thomson isn't blind to the fact that a hamfisted mechanic with no torque wrench can turn all his friends off to the stem...Echo said:
Meh, extra weight I dont need, less stem choice and I am not worried about stregnth of the ea70.Bulldog said:
Dont really see the point, I had raceface diablous 31.8 bar and stem last year and it felt no better then my ea70/thomson combo.
I e-mailed them when 1.5 products were first showing up. The response was that we wouldn't see anything until 1.5 really took off.DHS said:
