    Need to change your username.

    I’ve always got on with Ritchey parts, lighter than many, well made. Seen a couple of bars break, prefer Mt Zoom bars now, lighter as well, but their stems and posts are nice.

    Also a fan of Ritchey components, although usually use their carbon versions, have just built up a new cross bike for No.1 son with a wet black seat post.
    Reasonable cost, usual quality finish and at 265g not too heavy for a long fat strong alloy post.

    I use ritchey kit on my roadbike and have the wetlook wcs stem, bars and post. I like it a lot. Also got a ritchey wcs fork and headset. I’m not a fanboy, just like my kit to match.

    Looks nice but the paint on my 1 bolt seatpost flaked off badly!!! I shan’t be buying another wet one!

    MTB bars are far too narrow, other than that i love the stuff.

    I’ve had a couple of WCS stems which been excellent and nice and light.
    Had a (road) front wheel which didn’t last very well.
    Not sure about the ‘wet look’ stuff, why?

    Wet Look?

    Is that what we used to call gloss?

    Kinda, a thompson stem is shiny/gloss, the ritchey wet-look stuff is a (very) glossy paint, guess that’s what they’re trying to distinguish?

    Used to have bar/stem/post on my MTB, no complaints.

    Their dropouts are just perfect IMO though! To the extent I’ve discounted perfectly good bikes based on the competition haveing TR dropouts.

    I simply rode C-Y-B last week to achieve a wet look to all my components.

    ‘wet look’ is just super shiny high gloss. It doesn’t really look ‘wet’.

    thanks everyone (and apologies for the misspelling of ritchey 😳 i must admit to loving the look of the wet look aluminium components (that is the main reason that i went for it to be honest 🙂
