Stem and flat bar combo

[BAN007]

I am about to purchase a new stem amd carbon flat bar but not sure which combination is best and would like some opinions. I am looking for durability, comfort and weight saving. My choice so far is.........

 

1. FSA OS-115 2010 Stem - 110mm 6 Deg 31.8mm

FSA K-Force Carbon XC 2010 Flat Bar - 600mm OS 31.8mm

 

2. Ritchey WCS 4Axis stem wet white - 110mm 6 Deg 31.8mm

Ritchey Superlogic UD 2010 Carbon Flat Bar - 580mm 5 Deg 31.8mm

 

Some opinions please?

There is no "best" between these two. Take whatever matches your seatpost. Otherwise get a Thomson stem and a any of the above bars. Then you will have the best.

I think you';re spending too much money, dont buy a carbon bar, get an alloy one for 1/2 the price, if you want lightweight get a KCNC if you want something solid, try easton ea70.

Thomson stem would be best but them if you want lightweight go KCNC or even a planet x for very little money......

planet-x even have a glossy white stem now - R290 which is lighter than the ritchey - no question.
