Stem advice needed!!!

ashleymp777

I'm selling my current stem/handlebar set up, replacing it with an oversize bar and stem. But the question is, what stem do I get?

I need it to be:
- 120mm long
- 5 degree rise
- 31.8mm handlebar calmp size

Any suggestions?

I'd go for one of those ritchey carbon fiber reinforced jobbies.. make your CF beast look even more savage! Pretty dear for what they really are... but they just look fabulous. Oh yeah 6 degree rise vs 5.

Alternatively.. you could get the lighter + cheaper aluminium WCS 4 axis jobbie at half the price... again 6 degree rise / fall compared to the desired 5.

Mmm, I like the those Ritchey stems! Not sure I'd spend £100 on the carbon one, although it does look awesome I have to agree!

I've got a couple of the Ritchey WCS aluminium stems on my bikes (£45). I've had absolutely no problems from them what so ever. Indeed, I only had my eyes on the CF WCS ones so that it makes my scott look proper stealth bomber. But then again... my scott with it's skinny 27mm bars is fine as it is at the mo.. so unfortunaletly I canna justify it.

What about stems like bonbtrager, thomspon, FSA, Easton?
