giantwhore Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Looking for some feedback from people who've owned/ridden this frame and their opinions on bar and stem setup. Will be using the bike for both street and natural. I'm around 5 ft 10ish.CheersChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 trialtech for bars (riser) and stem (120x17) are perfect for the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Trialtech stem with 221ti, Rage or Trialtech bars.I'm running a trialtech stem with rage bars on mine... Once you get used to the thinner bars, they feel so much nicer to ride with than massive wide things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Once you get used to the thinner bars, they feel so much nicer to ride with than massive wide things.Fully agree with that! I used to run huge wide bars, and since using Montys ti and Easton EA50s, narrower bars actually feel loads nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it strange riding narrow bars.What is it you find nicer about them?I think with wider bars the bike feels more spaced out. Mind you the wider the bar the more I lean over to reach the end of the bar which means I have to run more stackers under my stem to bring my body position up a bit.

streetjibs Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) totally agree with QUACKERS... thought after years of using wide bars, narrower bars would feel weird and suck. But having gone from an ozonys with wide bars to a hydroxx with rage bars, .... the bars are 100% nicer. As for the bar/stem setup for ozonys, any 120x17 stem would be ideal such as trialtech, fsa 0s115 (no longer made, but superlush!) and get a rage bar or similar like monty and youll be laughin!! wide is overated, youll luv it..

abtrials Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) um i agree with quakers tobut the onza pazzaz stem is the same geo as the trialtech one and a bit cheaper monty, tryall rage, viz, bars are nicer than the trialtech bars trust meoh and 28 inch is perfect for bar length?

With narrow bars, my bike feels a lot more flicky and I can move around the bike a lot easier and it just makes the bike feel a bit nicer.

Stan Shaw Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 trialtech for bars (riser) and stem (120x17) are perfect for the frameAgreed! Trialtech riser bar and stem combo is perfect for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantwhore Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Sweet cheers guysI'm already running EA50's on my current bike so the narrower bars wont be a problem. Changed from Zoo's to EA50's and feel so much more comfotrable on the bike and it feels a lot more fun to ride if that mkaes any sense.....
