Lokoxx Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Nice bike! What size is the front rotor? And which pads are you riding on your HS33? About the stem issue.. Maybe Monty 231 or Tryall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 depends on how tall you are some mod stem would be nice I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagre15 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 depends on how tall you are some mod stem would be nice I guess I am 1,68 meters tall, I used to ride a because mod with that same stem and bar combo. What mod stem would you recommend for me? Maybe a 150x30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 150x30? Surely it's more about what's wrong with the feel of the current stem? What don't you like about it? Have you tried experimenting with all those stackers you've got on there, to get different bar heights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Monty 231 or Tryall? I'm using the 2009 echo pads. In my other brake setup they where poor, but in this bike the are awesome Edited November 4, 2011 by bagre15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried experimenting with all those stackers you've got on there, to get different bar heights? It's good on the rear wheel, but it's impossible to bunnyhop with that stem. I'll try to play with the stackers Edited November 4, 2011 by bagre15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Why is it impossible to sidehop? Too long? A good stem/bar combo I've found on the 24" Echo (similar geo) was the 138x25 Echo Sl stem paired to High Riser TT bars. 150x35 + standard riser bars is also a nice combo. But at the end of the day it all depends on what you like. On TF I've noticed a tendency to have your handlebars fairly low in relation to the BB rise which I find annoying and uncomfortable. That's why on a stock I'm running a 150x35 stem despite only being 179cm tall. It's really good for natty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in doubt between getting a 150x30 stem or a 130x38 stem. I forgot to tell that I love to do front wheel moves and bunnyhops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Pretty nice bike! How do you find that rear tyre? and what size is it? 2.4, 2.5, 2.7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagre15 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The rear tyre is 2.5, I think that the tyre is very good, I've never got any rear pinch since I got this tyre and I'm using a standard tube. O The tyre is also very springy. The only problem is that I ride mainly in the street, so the tyre is wearing out pretty fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
