Alex Dark Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Nice...could do with a wee bit longer stem maybe? anyways..very nice bike.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 That's gonna be a whole lotta fun to ride , I love mine ( shown in Sig . ) Perhaps a slightly longer stem may help it's ride characteristics feel less twitchy , as these have a fairly steep head angle already .

simo Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 After last night, i fell a longer stem will be a great idea !What is a good make to go for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I used a system x one on mine for a bit, about 90-100mm with some rise too and that felt alright. But when i got my lower and longer 120mm one it was much, much better! I am rather tall though so 100-110 would probably be better. The echo stems are good if you have oversize bars, but if not you should be able to pick up a raceface stem or something similar that'll be around the same geometry.

simo Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 i only went out for a bit due to the rain.It was smooth on drops and spins, just got to get use to it as the geomatry is a lot different to my old frame i have been riding.

Endohopper Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Lookin' great ! Interesting that the forward end of the top tube is round / oval , as my TA26 's top tube is pretty much hexagonal there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Lookin' great ! Interesting that the forward end of the top tube is round / oval , as my TA26 's top tube is pretty much hexagonal there .Yeah they changed the design for 06 i think, whichever year it was that they introduced the pink version.

Endohopper Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 ... they changed the design ...Did they adress the inherent weakness at the toptube / seatstay junction in doing so ? I was fortunate enough to have the warranty honoured twice after 2 sucessive ( and identical ) failures at that point , and number 3's still doing just fine .
