I need to get a new stem. I was looking at a Ritchey Pro 4axis http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_510466_-1___203193#ReviewHeader also the Ritchey comp, or an FSA something or other. I just wanted your opinion on what I might want to get. Or do you have a better one that I should look at.
I need a 110mm stem. Prefer not to have carbon because it is to expensive for me at this time.

    Ritchey 4 axis is an ok stem nothing special. not a real upgrade over anything if you ask me. But good value if you can get it for the price stated. My personal favorite (and not crazy expensive) alloy stem is Zipp service course SL. Relative to the bars and seatpost I also got from them (each piece retail around €100) it's not the cheapest but all-in-all the best bit of finishing kit I ever had (carbon included).

    It is a bit of tube that connects your bars to your steerer, how much upgrade can there be?

    Just buy the one you like that you find at a good price.
    Yellow is the new Black.
