the judge Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Have you got any bars yet? If so, what diameter are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 oh i have echo bars so they are 31.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the judge Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) You can't go wrong with an echo stem then really, or perhaps one of the new hope ones. I run a 90mm echo stem and I'm really pleased with it, I ride mostly street too A lot of people favour slightly longer stems than that though so maybe go for a 100mm.

joshywa Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Go for some thing under 100mm long, more like 50/60mm. It feels solid to bunny hop mine and thats with a 110mm ( i think) stem !joshywa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 someone also told me to get a high rise stem to make the bike more flicky. i have also heard that these stems are only realy for bikes with high bottom brackets (my bottom bracket isnt that high being a base) so would i benifit from a high rise stem or a low rise stem such as an echo or zoo stemcheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashby-trials Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 try try-all bars n stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 i dont no if a high rise stem makes the bike more flicky but they do generally suit a rider that does moves such as bunnyhops ect the streetier moves. and i wunt say they are only for high rise bb, but they are usually used by people with a high bb to counter the bb. a lower rise stem usually suits a person who does more technical moves but its entirely up to you.
