MrSuave Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) bonjourno.... my zhi z2 came with an echo stem(, black, 4 bolt,) which i think is 15deg, 120mm??? personally speaking it feels like the front is a touch low and i think id enjoy a bit more reach. (im running czar flat bars) dont want to change bars as i like the current ones, whats the next step in terms of stems or what would be suited to this geo (1075, +35, 72 deg, 380mm). ?? cheers ears.

ogre Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 giant echo stem, or a mod stem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Try-all do a good stem but I would seriously consider getting riser bars, the right bars would give you the option to finely tune your height/reach needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 The Tartybikes own brand stem seems to work well on my ride with similar bb rise. Have a looksee on tartybikes.co.uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really reccomend you get the tartybikes stem, but also get some trialtech riser bars, then your bike would ride so nice. As the czar flats, are shite!

They are just horrible low bars. If you like them, then don't listen to us. But we are trying to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, Tom has been riding for more years than you've been alive. Almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Fair enough if you like the feel of your bars, but your losing out on around 30mm of rise by using those bars compared with the TrialTech/Inspired/TartBikes/Viz/Try-all riser bars. And this is most probaly why your front end feels low. On my Z2 I ran TrialTech bars with a TartyBikes stem, and still had to put 15mm of spacers underneath the stem to get the height I wanted. With that set-up it rode so nicely though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in no way was I trying to be cocky, or bigheaded etc. Just saying from *my expirience, I'd much rather have my trialtech bars, than my locals czars. *Little as it is.

Alex Dark Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I agree totally with Chin.....Trialtechs would be better, or ideally some viz pro720/monty ti/ try-all rage bars. My Try-all NUC stem is perfect on my coust V2 ( +40, 1117, 380 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uldis Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 something like 125x25 degree stem and riser bars could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
