ghostrider88 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I believe Adam or Mark explained that before like this-Both mod and stock riders tend to ride 150mm stems these days, so there is no reason for try all to make a different one as it would make it less cost effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315r Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks for the photo Canardweb. Yeah, ghostrider88, I know that these days people are ridding mostly 150mm, but for instance, kloud IMO fits better the shorter one, just because the BB is lower. For shorter riders should be better the shorter one too. And finally in the same way that Koxx do the Sky and kloud for different kind of riders they should do the same with at least two different length of stems.. what do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what its worth, I agree. Seems to be 29838584 variations in stem geo, but nothing to fit this market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, 150x 32(because that´s what it apparently is) is pretty damn high for +45bb frame, especially for shorter riders. But what can you do other than buy a different brand?For what its worth, I agree. Seems to be 29838584 variations in stem geo, but nothing to fit this market. What kind of geo would you like? Just out of curiosity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Not sure to be honest! I don't know the numbers I just know what works for me. I currently use a pure frame with a load of stackers and some sort of rockman stem. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/180801-nick-wood-rig-one-echo-pure-sl-2013/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hm for you that stem actually might work really well, with no stackers and bars tilted slightly more backwards the bars should be in the same height, just few mm more forward(according to this little helper http://alex.phred.org/stemchart/Default.aspx ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride stock with +55bb rise, and i find 130 x 25 stem with a few stackers (15mm atm) perfect. 127 x 30 would be perfect for shorter people / bikes with mid range bb rise. And i HATE having to cut steer tube down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i HATE having to cut steer tube down! That stem would give you 9mm less reach with 5mm less spacers=not ideal if you like front wheel moves. Anyways 15mm of stem stackers isn´t too bad especially if you don´t like cutting steerer down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315r Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hope they finally do a shorter one, I can find this geo in other brands but I think that K2 it's a very well done stem, specially for carbon bars...

Cross fingers.. Why don´t you get this one? http://www.trial-bikes.com/rockman-stem-127mm-p-5398.html ,bar clamp is just as easy to use, it´s also forged and I really can´t find anything bad about other than the price tag. It´s even in your country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s even in your country. Thanks ghostrider88 but for carbon bars I prefer the complete clamp, the one with only 2 screws, I think that is less aggressive with the bar. Like the old try-all or monty. Here the old try-all still available in 127mm 27º: http://www.k-124store.com/fr/26/377-try-all-potence-3d-forgee.html Is another option..
