Hi all I've just bought a cube 27.5 ltd SL and I'm after changing the stem and maybe. The bars depending on funds, I'm after Thomson to match up with my seatpost.. I'm am clueless of which one I need to buy as I'm not that technically minded
Are you changing them because you want a different length or just for looks? Personally I'd avoid Thomson stems. Overpriced and prone to cracking on the faceplate.
You'll want an X4 in the length you want, probably a 10 degree rise one, in 1 1/8 & 31.8 flavour.
nickjb..both really to be honest..

Yeah, though bear in mind, that's the 50mm one, the longer ones look different.

My mums bikes headset kept coming loose, we changed the star nut, tried grip paste, changed the headset, even swapped my forks onto her bike but it kept coming loose, so we changed the stem to a on-one CNC stem, and it's been faultless! Unlike Thomson seatposts (which are excellent) their stems are pretty terrible in my opinion.
For a bit of balance, I have had Thomson stems for years and never had any issues with any of them. Always stayed tight, never cracked.
However, I am now using Easton Havens and they are also excellent and very easy to setup correctly with their top lock system. They don't have any rise though. My preferred combination is Haven bars and stems, the bars are just the right shape for me.
