Luke Dunstan Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) So much has changed in the last few months, so here's an update. Went with the mod stem because I was so cramped before, It rides like a dream now. Couldn't be happier. New items... Echo SL Freewheel. Swampthing + Moto tyres. Welter weight tubes. Downtube protector (had a nasty bash on a wall) Trialtech Mod stem Trialtech high rise bars. Edited May 13, 2011 by Luke Dunstan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 That looks awesome, How do you find the rear Swampthing and the front motodigger? I am thinking of running a rear swampthing when i get my 24 but I am unsure whether to go for a small block 8 or motodigger on the front! Also hows the high front end? I am looking to run a set of risers and a 150x30 mod stem on mine. Are you running 18-14? If so what length cranks? Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Highroller before but it was a bit too big for the frame, and weighed way too much. The Motodigger is also pretty good. But saying that the small block 8 looks like ideal, and is a bit lighter. I'll probably get one when the Moto gets dull. Before the high front end I was using a Tarty stock stem and Onza carbon bars. It rode okay but I felt very cramped, so on Marks advice I ordered that stem/bar combo and it made a world of difference, it's happier on the back wheel than on both! Highly recommend it. And yes, I'm running 18-14 with 170 cranks. Runs perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I got it from Chain Reaction. Pricey but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
