$39.00 | | Purchased At: | Excelsports | | Strengths: | Stiff as any XC stem can be. Clamps bars and steerer tube with confidence. Appearance is generic but the beadblast finish is unique and the Ritchey name spells quality. | | Weaknesses: | Generic appearance won't generate love or passion for the stem. | | Similar Products Used: | Kore Aheadlite, Easton EA60 | | Bike Setup: | 2000 Intense Tracer with complete XTR package and v-brakes. Mavic ceramic rims, Marzocchi Z3 Flylight 100 | | Bottom Line: | Good functional stem and an excellent value when you buy it on sale. $19 is the average sales price online, but I've seen it advertised for as low as $9. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$22.00 | | Purchased At: | Merlin Cycles | | Strengths: | Does the job
Looks as good as any other stem | | Weaknesses: | nowt | | Similar Products Used: | you are kidding? | | Bike Setup: | Rocklobster team Ti from Merlin Cycles | | Bottom Line: | This thing costs fifteen quid!
It has a nice titanium look to it and double clamps so you can invert it without any faffing.
I also have a fifteen quid ritchey seatpin which is the naffest thing on my bike ... would buy easton ea50 next time.
I really think that anyone needing a stem would find it difficult to justify spending more than this... it has a really good finish. Weighs no more than 30g more than a hundred squid stem, and matches my Ti frame. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$22.00 | | Purchased At: | Harry Middleton cycles | | Strengths: | Looks, price, weight | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Syncros, Club roost, Control tech | | Bike Setup: | to ride all day | | Bottom Line: | Erm, mine was perfectly finish, didn't even have to file edges (did on the control tech), cost 15 quid, weighs 175g (less than the control tech or syncros) and holds the bars firmly without flexing or breaking. Removable face allows riser bars too. Do you need owt else from a stem? | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 27, 2002 | | Favoriate Trail: | like I'd tell | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Price Paid: |
$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Excel Sports, Boulder CO | | Strengths: | Looks pretty cool, reasonably light, cheap | | Weaknesses: | LOW quality- extremely poor steerer bolt and stem cap alignment- unusable. | | Similar Products Used: | Titec Big-AL, Control Tech, Ritchey Force quill stem | | Bike Setup: | Ibis SilkTi | | Bottom Line: | This stem proved itself unusable right after taking it out of the bag. Problems: the stem cap bolts were not centered on the face of the stem, so the cap mounted off-center. That's minor, compared to the real problem: the steerer clamp bolts were drilled too far in toward the steer tube bore. Putting the stem on my brand new Marzocchi resulted in some very deep scratches on the steerer from the bolts. Luckily I saw the scratches before putting the stem all the way down...but I won't buy the lower-cost Ritchey parts again. This thing was crap. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
