Zipp 145 vs. Bontrager XXX Lite CF Stems
Other than the rise (and the logo / faceplate) the the Zipp Weaponry 145 stem looks virtually identical to the Bontrager XXX Lite CF stem. Does anyone know if they are in fact built by the same manufacturer??

I've used both, they are different. Faceplates are different sized, and they have different rises. Both are quality items. Bontrager has also changed their carbon stems for '08.
