Ritchey WCS Switch Stem Description:
The Ritchey WCS Switch Stem is a strong and lightweight stem that is specifically designed as an integral part of Ritchey's Switch internal cable routing system. 3D forged 2014 aluminum alloy and stainless steel hardware creates a rugged and lightweight stem, and a wide 49.8mm C220 handlebar clamp envelopes the handlebar to offer excellent torsional stiffness. On the inside, a large central bore is designed to allow cables/brake housing to easily pass from the inside of handlebars through the stem, and the included cable guide creates a smooth transition from the stem as they flow through the rest of Ritchey's Switch system and an internally routed bicycle frame. Last but not least, a reversible accessory mount is included with the stem, and this allows a wide variety of accessories to be cleanly attached to the stem, freeing up room on the handlebars for other accessories or simplifying the appearance of the front of the bike.
Notes: Depending on inventory, this product may feature either a multi-colored (champion's stripes) or a grey Ritchey logo. Reversible accessory mount is required to be installed for a proper fit between stem and handlebar; mount can be installed with the body hidden in stem or outside the stem so accessories (available separately) can be attached.

- Unique design of stem has room for up to three cables to be run through the stem and the rest of Ritchey's switch headset and spacer system (spacers and headset available separately)
- Forged 2014 aluminum alloy and stainless steel bolts create a rugged and light stem
- Wide C220 4-bolt handlebar clamp evenly distributes clamping pressure and adds torsional stiffness for improved bicycle control
