These strong and durable bolts are the ideal replacement parts for your Ritchey stem.
The Carbon C260 adds to the amazing strength-to-weight ratio of Ritchey's C260 alloy and Carbon Matrix stems through the use of high modulus carbon fiber, increased boom diameter and a wider clamp.
More than just a beefed-up version of our other stems – for the Trail stem we revised the patented C260 clamp to a 220-degree version that fits a wider variety of riser bar bends and still packs a dramatic increase in stiffness and strength over competitor's designs.
The reason for the easier installation or removal is thanks to Ritchey's unique "press-fit" handlebar clamp. This design improves the interface between the stem and handlebar making attaching the bars to your bike simpler and faster. Also, the forward-facing bolts mean fine tune adjustments are a breeze. Secure and Stable Engagement In addition to easy installation, the WCS 220's clamp design creates a stable and secure bar engagement. This, in turn, increases bar stiffness for more precise handling, sprinting and climbing. Also, the coated CrMo bolts are positioned in alignment with the clamp plate's face for a more efficient hold and reduced flex.
Taking inspiration from Ritchey's C260 model, the C220 gives a tighter, more secure hold, covering 220 degrees of your bar for a snug and firm fitting. In doing so, the bolt forces are more aligned, allowing for the stem body to fully embrace the bar, preventing damage and instilling confidence with motion. Flip-Flop mount compatible and easy to install and remove, the WCS C220 stem is a prime addition to your bike's steering column.
First proven on the Ritchey TRAIL stem, the C220 handlebar clamp design creates a more secure interface by wrapping a full 220 degrees over the handlebar. Bolt forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body ‘embraces’ the handlebar, which is less prone to damaging lightweight bars. This clamp design allows for a lighter faceplate and stem body with no sacrifice in strength or stiffness. The Carbon Matrix stem body is forged 7075 aluminum with a stiffness-enhancing carbon exoskeleton which makes this 12% stiffer than the WCS alloy C220 stem. Premium quality CRMO steel bolts are used throughout.
Made from a super-durable 3D forged aluminium, this trail-centric stem is designed similarly to the popular C260 model, boasting a 220-degree clamp, making it suitable for use on bars with a wider bend. Compatible with 1 1/8" steerers, it fits most MTB frames and forks to provide a long-lasting and reliable hold from a relatively lightweight construction.
