I went out to fit my trusty oversize Thomson stem to my new bike only to realise that 31.8 has now been super over sized by 35mm. When did that happen? :facepalm:
 
I think it was easton who brought the first 35mm stem/bar out, aimed at gravity racing. Now with most dh bikes being made in carbon, manufacturers can make the stem and bars stiffer and lighter using 35mm carbon. I dont think it is a fad, and it serves a specific purpose. Wether it will replace current sizes, probably, companies like to sell you new things :D
