Purchased At:
Ebay
Strengths:
Light, finish.
Weaknesses:
Degree, poor quality allen bolts
Similar Products Used:
Thomson X4
Bike Setup:
Was on SC Heckler, replace with a Thomson X4
Bottom Line:
Stem it's light and nice. I don't like the degree, i prefer the 0 degree stems but Ritchey has other idea. I had to replace 2 allen bolts. Mount it on XC bike and you'll be happy but do not mount it on a trail/freeride bike.

Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$60.00
Purchased At:
Harpeth Bicycles
Strengths:
Lightweight & looks.
Weaknesses:
A bit too flexy.
Similar Products Used:
Thomson, Race Face Deus, & Bontrager.
Bike Setup:
Sycip Diesel, Marzocchi Corsa World Cup....
Bottom Line:
I like Ritchey products and have used them for years. I just find the WCS to be too flexy. Didn't really notice when riding SID forks but now that forks have progressed to 32MM stanchions it really shows how flexy this design is. I will be going back to Thomson.
