Does anyone have any experience with the Richey WCS Road Stem? Heard anything about it? Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Ed,
Take a look at the Ritchey WCS stem. It is very light at 125g, has a four bolt head, is flip-flopable, and comes in a large range of sizes and angles. Lot of folks on this forum use it.

2nd Ritchey WCS stem, stiff, light, no frills, just great function at a great price.

My LBS recommended the Richey WCS stem as well for my new build.

Ditto on the Ritchey WCS. This was the stem that Craig Calfee recommended when I had the same questin. I have them on all my bikes now and I'm very happy with them.
Another advantage for them is the diagonal opening for the steering tube clamp. I think it was Velonews who tested this stem a while back and concluded the diagonal clamp is significantly kinder and gentler to delicate carbon steering tubes and for that reason alone it's a superior stem.
They come in both -17 and -6/84 degree (reversable) rises. I find them to be good solid & stiff stems. And they look nice too.

WCS is a great stem!

I have been using one for 5100 miles and love it.

I have a Ritchey WCS stem paired with Deda 215 bars. I have had no problem with about 1400 total miles.

Thank you very much for your kind offer! But, that's a bit too long for me. Thanks anyway.
