So shiny, so good ..

For some reason was blinkered on finishing my scott foil with 3T, so originally went ahead and got an ARX Pro stem and Ergonova Pro bars, looks good on a cervelo right ? But the scott comes with a Ritchey WCS seatpost and headset in glorious wet black, and the 3T gear just never looked quite right, plus i didnt really like the wide supposedly semi aero section of the ergonova bars, but this stem (plus Logic 3 handlebars) finishes it perfectly. The wet black finish really is superb, and the black torx 20 bolts all blend in nicely making it look pretty stealthy if you're into that. Front end feels racier already, i also added a barfly 2.0 garmin mount at the same time, defo looks and feels like and upgrade. Couldnt be more happy with it all.

Light, Strong, Affordable

The C260 stem is actually stiff. I've used the 4-Axis for years and noticed a big improvement in stiffness in the C260 - not just marketing hype. The C260 is 9 grams lighter than my 4-axis of the same size.

The 260 degree clamp does make installation more difficult and I scratched my lovely wet black Ritchey bars in the process. The 3mm bolts also make my Ritchey torque key useless, but the small bolts make it difficult to over toque the stem. Overall, great stem and a reasonable price.
