dirt jumper jake Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Yo, been riding my pure and i love it but the front end feels a little too high. Current setup is a tryall 3d stem (older 127x27 model) TT High rise bars and a 20mm stacker. im gonna change the bars for some lower ones and have narrowed it down to two similar ones. the tryall elite 2011 and rockman 7075 2011. ive ridden a mates pure with the new tryall 3d stem and tryall elite bars with 40mm of stackers and hated it, felt really short. so im now swaying to the rockman bars as i had the old 7046's on quite a few of my many setups and loved them. anyone got any experience with these? any feedback appreciated EDIT: Im also 6ft2 so thats why i have/need a tall setup.

On my pure I had the try-all carbons with try-all stem and it felt spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 tried that, makes it feel way too low for me Then adapt and get used to it, or alternatively, run 10mm stackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Then adapt and get used to it, or alternatively, run 10mm stackers. Or, get some new bars that are better suited to the new bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Dale Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 tried that, makes it feel way too low for me get 2 10mm spacers or 4 5mm ones and play bout with it till if feels right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I found TT high rise bars on my stock, when rolled forwards to a comfy position put you too far forwards and stretched you out. Swtiched to TryAll carbons and they were lovely. I imagine either the TryAlls or the Rockmans would feel a lot better. Just get which one's fit your bike colourwise?

dirt jumper jake Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 You aren´t good at playing with spacers then... i want advice on bars. Not f**king spacers!

Theyre both in silver, so both of them would look fine think im gonna go for the rockmans as they have a bit more rise and upsweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre both in silver, so both of them would look fine think im gonna go for the rockmans as they have a bit more rise and upsweep its probably not the height that you dont like if you have played with spacer, its the bars it self. i found trialtechs to be too straight if you know what i mean. the more upsweep the better!

I've never liked the feel of the sports, always found them a lil weird feeling.

Filo Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'm riding the same frame. I'm a similar height and know what your saying. I'm running trialtech standard rise,150x30 and 22mm of spacers. I feel the reach is to short on this frame for me and I'm waiting on a 165x25mm stem to make the reach longer. Check that your reach suits your heulight,not your bar height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
