  • it's not like 10° is a weird size

    Just my thought, but apart from Pro there doesn't seem to be much more around 10-12 degrees that also look good. Not that Pro stems are anywhere near good looking.

    Well, there's your trouble, and at least half the reason I was being snarky; if you're bothered by aesthetics over function, then there's really no point asking us to help, since we cannot guess what will satisfy your taste.

    You should also bear in mind that ±2° is about ±3.5mm height change on a 100mm stem, which might matter if you knew where every manufacturer was measuring from, but you don't. Differences in stack height and measuring references can make more difference than that.

  • Maybe I should have started with this:
    I'm looking for a 110mm equivalent for my 100mm 10° Thomson X2 that's been slightly too short. Also I think the clamp design is prone to fail.
    I've tried 6° stems but I think below 10° is really the way to go. Changing stack height by moving spacers is not an option as it's fully slammed with your head set cover
