Anyone tried some of the Ritchey WCS "wet" components?

you have to keep it wet.



jk

I dont know. I'm wondering the same.

That's what she said....badda boom!

I saw ol' Tom today on his road bike...that's why the thread caught my eye. Had to google the wet stuff so obviously no help there...

no it doesn't scratch easy..and yes it's an outstanding product.

It Sucks

I Have a Stem and a Handlebar, both are White Wet Ritchey WCS.

The Looks are great, but the quality of painting....It sucks...My friends..it's not bad...it simply sucks

Any time I try to change the grips, or to adjust the bake levers...the paint comes off creating very ugly holes...

So, be aware. Good product but painted with Neanderthal technology.

I've got one of the Ritchey "Rizer" bars in the wet black color. The above comments are pretty accurate -- you have to be careful with the installation of grips and controls.

Thanks for your replies guys. I have ordred a WCS carbon handlebar and another seatpost instead. But I will try the white WCS stem in "wet".
