Recommend a 26mm stem.

I have the nitto rb-002 bars and had an older Thomson stem that was made in the 26mm size. Today I noticed the stem cracked pretty bad so I need a new one. I'm scoping out eBay to find the same one but don't want to wait.
Cab you recommend a 26mm stem? Looking for black and nothing with ugly logos. Something preferably plain. Not too expensive but not the cheapest. Thanks!

Dimension. Or check eBay for used stuff. I found a 26.0 Syntace stem for peanuts.

There's nothing wrong with shims and using them in conjunction with the plethora of 31.8mm stems out there.

Second the Dimension stem. Had one on another bike and it was cheap, looked good, and worked perfectly.

If you can find one, the old 26mm Salsas are great. I own one and it's perfect in every way

Thse are the exact same stems, from the exact same factory as the dimension stem.
