joshie12345 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm thinking of changing my stem and currently i run a 185mm stem and want to change to a 150mm. Will this change the feel completely or improve the feel, please help haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 It'll definitely change the feel but whether it improves it or not is entirely down to you. How tall are you and what frame is it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsquirt Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 It depends on your frame, size and riding style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshie12345 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm 5ft 8 and ride a onza genesis 20" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've always considered 150 stems for mods too short but it's down to individual preference. Around a similar height and a 170 was perfect for me on a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMatt Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm 6ft / 6ft 1 and i ran the standard 160 stem on my genesis for a while but it just felt so strange, switched to 180 and everything felt so much better, loads more room to get power down. so im guessing 170 would be a good shout for someone your size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah I'd say a 150 is too small for a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshie12345 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Okay thanks so a 165 trial tech will be a good choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
