Sadly yes. Whilst the bike is stationary I can twist the bars and stem just by adding a bit of weight through it.

I am sure that in use it would be fine but I will try the controltech ritchey combo too.

New items are : Black stem, silver bar

That looks great, has the Controltech stem got less rise?

Thank you

Re Stem ...

Yes. Almost nothing.

My back is going to get a real surprise!

Nice build, just needs a nicer seatpost.
I have a collection of worn out ODI Attacks in the shed with my last good pair on my Salsa.
And I wouldn't hesitate to leave the XTR pads on the shelf. Koolstops all the way.

Acknowledged.

Looking for a 26.8mm Controltech to match the new stem.
