Ragley Stubbing Evo stem


SO GOOD
This distinctive looking 7075 alloy stem has a zero rise and low 30mm stack height, which will help those looking to lower their bar height or with a short fork steerer. 

Despite its small size, we couldn’t feel any flex out on the trails. Substantial machining means our 55mm version weighed only 179g, and the finish matches that of more expensive stems.We like Ragley’s ‘Lock-Down’ bar clamp system, where you tighten the two top bolts fully, leaving tensioning to the bottom bolts.

NO GOOD
We’d like to see bolts bigger than 4mm on such a heavy-duty stem. It’s also a shame there isn’t a shorter option.

PRICE 69$

Merida Big Seven 100

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.
