Ritchey WCS C220 73D Stem - 130mm, 31.8mm, -17 Degree, Aluminum, Matte Black
The WCS C220 stem is easy to install and remove thanks to a press-fit handlebar clamp interface and forward-facing hardware.
  • Bolt forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body embraces the handlebar which is less prone to damaging lightweight bars
  • Clamp design allows for a lighter faceplate and stem body with no sacrifice in strength or stiffness
  • The handlebar clamp design creates a more secure interface by wrapping a full 220 degrees over the handlebar

StarStarStarStarStar Get a different stem.

by Jeff L. of Cincinnati, OH
Product: Ritchey WCS C220 73D Stem - 130mm, 31.8mm, -17 Degree, Aluminum, Matte Black
Ownership: a month
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high

Pros

Lightweight. I'm a Ritchey fan for bars and stems (just not the 220).

Cons

You have to be very careful and methodical installing this 220 series version versus the 260 series. The 260 series will hold the handlebar captive while you get the installation done. The 220 series will not hold captive the 31.8 handlebars.

Other Thoughts

Bottom line: buy another stem. Seriously. The face plate is hard to line up and get the screws started because of all the weird angles. Unless you are very careful and methodical during the installation of the faceplate, you stand a high potential to cross-thread the screws into a very soft aluminum stem. (Relatively soft) Almost any other stem will have better design than the 220. Try the 260 if you want to get Ritchey.

Bar clamp diameter is the diamater of the handlebar.

Stem length is measured from the center of one clamp to the center of the other clamp. This measurement is sometimes known as the reach or extension.

S.H.I.S clamp diameter is the steerer tube diameter.

Stem angles are measured perpendicular to the clamp. For example, a 90 degree stem is straight. Sometimes, this may also be refered to as a 0 degree stem. If two measurements are listed, the stem can be flipped for angling up or down.
