1 1/4 " steerer stem needed. Any besides Giant?
I have a Canyon bike and it has 1 1/4" steerer tube, I want to put a lighter stem on there. Any suggestions for the oversize stem besides the $315 Giant stem I found? It is light at 123 grams. Does not have to be carbon. I have a 1 1/8" aluminum stem that weighs 94 grams. Oh well.
1st world problems. I know.

Zipp makes 1 1 /4 stems. I have a canyon also, used a Giant one "temporarily" while I made sure it fit before buying a zipp. This was 3 years ago...

My uninformed guess would be to look at weight weenie MTB brands of the likes of Tune. Maybe not idk.

As others have stated Zipp makes a nice one that comes with shims to covert to 1 1/8" later. 140 g claimed.

Planet Cyclery has most sizes on sale too:

In addition to Zipp and Ritchey...Pro has some oversize stems, they have a new bar stem combo in 1 1/4 but its $$$ and not particularly light.

If you want to get fancy, Extralite Hyperstem and Darimo IX2 have oversized options as well

Syntace also makes some 1 1/4" stems with a 1/8" adapter included.

I ended up using the Shimano PRO Vibe alloy on my TCR. Looks and feels great IMO.

The Pro Vibe does look nice, but it has a special shaped top cap that fits flush on it. Looks nice if your steerer is cut, if not, it will prevent you from running spacers on top of the stem unless you also order the separate spacer kit, which includes a shim for running spacers on top. Ask me how I know. LOL
