Decent High Rise Stem - Carbon bar Friendly

[dazman]

Hi,

I'm having to lose 4.5cm off my bar stack height to bring my forks back within manufacturer safety recommendations. I'm currently running a 11cm Ritchey WCS 4axis OS Road 84 degrees. I've ordered the same at 73 degree but I'm worried it will only give me 2 cm back. Can anyone recommend a similar quality stem with a higher rise that is carbon bar friendly (non adjustable!)?

Cheers,

I just saw this - is the design okay for carbon bars though?

It should work for you ... but, you can e-mail their customer service to allay any reservations ...

FWIW. BOTH EXCEL & COLORADO CYCLIST have excellent customer service & tech departments.

That stem should be fine for any bars.
