Ritchey Comp Switch Stem: BB BLACK 70MM

Description

The front of the new Ritchey Switch Stem

features the tried-and-true Ritchey C220 handlebar clamp design seen on many Ritchey stems, but we've increased its width for additional stiffness. Beyond that, everything else on this innovative stem is new and designed to stealthily conceal cables into the headset and frame. Up to four cables – such as for the rear brake, shifter, electronic drivetrain or even dropper post – are effortlessly integrated with the Ritchey Switch System spacers and Switch headset (both sold separately) to cleanly route the hidden cables into the frame. The Ritchey Switch Stem includes a matching compression cap.
