7up_elise Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Would I be silly to get one? Just liking the idea as it was what i had on my last bike! Will I be better off getting one a little longer, or are short stems still the way forward? bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 what geo are they? what bike are you riding, and how are you riding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7up_elise Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 90cm long, with a 5 degree rise... And im learning trials again after a loooooong break! Also riding a 26'' Club roost XP! Just wondering if short stems are still the way forward, or are the newer trials specific frames made shorter? Im completly useless with set up etc! I bought it anyways as it was only a tenner, so we shall see how I get on with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 What frame are you riding? And what bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7up_elise Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 It suits my extremly long arms! They drag the floor when I walk!!! But on another note... yes.... that was meant to read 90mm! At the moment just a cheapy set of bars with a small rise... And its a Club roost Xp! I bought the stem anyways, and if its not good its not the end of the world as it was only a tenner! I just wasnt sure if the trials based frames are shorted than an average frame, say an XC bike for example! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 A 90mm stem should be absolutely fine for the Club Roost. Couple it with a suitable riser for full man points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
