New Ritchey stubby for 2011

[bon_gabs]

Hi dave,, is this confirmed the one on the left(carbon)?Im praying that it comes with a zero offset version..

[Ritchey_Dave]

The Superlogic is going to be another 25mm offset seat mast topper. I'm looking into when we might expect an 8mm alloy version. I'll get back to you on that.

They will fit a 34.9mm seat mast, are 50mm long, and have a 25mm offset. They should be available around mid December. Just in time for Christmas!

Sorry Mister Gabs, I fought for a 8mm version, but the higher-ups deemed it too expensive for the small amount of demand.

[bon_gabs]

no worries,,

Hi Ritchey,

Please explain this for me. Isn't this new Superlogic, Ritchey a 8 mm offset version. Looks like that on the pictures:

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=62205

It says on the descreption that it is a 25mm offset version, but it looks like a 8mm?

Thank you.

[Ritchey_Dave]

Yeah, that's a photo of the prototype that never was. The description is correct, they have a 25mm offset.

Correct picture

[asgerasger]

Sorry if this is a stupid questions, but that means that the photo I posted, is a photo of the version that doesn't exist? So the one that chainreaction has is a 25mm offset version like the one on the photo bon_gabs posted?

Not stupid at all. We had the wrong picture on our image site for shops to download. It makes it pretty confusing. Sometimes incorrect pictures get posted for new products and it takes a second for us to realize it. So thanks for the heads up. We didn't make an 8mm offset for production so Chain Reaction has 25mm Stubbies.

[bon_gabs]

Come on Dave ,why Ritchey likes hurting people,,Ive been praying for a zero offset for a year now but God wont answer..

@Ritchey Dave:

What is the weight?

[Ritchey_Dave]

@Ritchey Dave:

What is the weight?

The weight of the Superlogic Stubby is 105g.

[Ritchey_Dave]

Dave do you have the proto-type in your office?,Tell Mr.Ritchey that I will pay tripple the price..

Ha! Believe me Mr. Gabs if we had one I could sell, you'd be the first person I'd call.

Dave thx for taking the time to reply on this forum. Why make such a heavy carbon Stubby? New Ultimate, Tune and other producers make sub 80 gram stubbys. Why can´t you?

I'm not familiar with those two brands, but different designs yield different weights. While lightness is important to us, factors other than weight also play into our designs such as adjustability and reliability. Ultimately it's our idea of what degree each of these things play in our components that really defines us from our competitors.

[bon_gabs]

dave,for 2012 any plans of producing 8mm offset for 34.9 stubby? thanks

[Ritchey_Dave]

Sorry Mister Gabs, no plans at the moment.

[kreyszig]

Is that true that this new stubby is already discontinued?

Thanks!

[Ritchey_Dave]

It's not true. Where'd you hear that?

[kreyszig]

It's not true. Where'd you hear that?

On ChainReactionCycles (Ritchey Superlogic Stubby Seatpost | Buy Online | ChainReactionCycles.com). It seems that they finally shipped one to me after I waited the whole summer for it, but now they claim it is discontinued... I am glad to hear from the source that it is not the case!

Thanks

[Ritchey_Dave]

They're just not carrying it anymore.

[kreyszig]

They're just not carrying it anymore.

ah ok... It is a bit misleading the way they mention it... Do you know why it could have taken 3 months for them to get them in stock?

Thanks!
