i've used ritchey WCS for a few years...i like 'em. the syntace is
comparable, but appreciably lighter (%-wise) than the WCS. but there
doesnt appear to be alot of extra material both for the steerer clamp
and handlebar clamp threading. and the torque value for both areas is
only 8nm.
 
I've got the F99 and it is very light and strong. I have climbed mountains
with it and it does well. You'll be happy with it if you're 150 lbs. or
under. The F99 is 100 grams lighter than my old ITM stem. That is huge for
just a stem.
