Andeee Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have just built my echo pure up today its the pure with the 1075 length and 10mm rise. Im running a hope stem and try-all bars for my steering if you get what i mean then running 2 spacers then 2 spacers above the stem ive tryed every combination to get use to the bike ive even tryed running a longer stem. Could it be: I need to cut a chunk out of my steerer tube Run a longer stem( as im currently running a short hope one) Need more of a handlebar with more rise i.e zoo bars? Im 5ft 8 can anyone solve my problem? I think its most likely too cut my steerer tube down. But i need to solve this.. thanks andy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I know alot of people are more then likely runing a longer and higher rise stem then you, what is the spec of your hope stem? Length and rise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialschallenger Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) personally i try stay clear of cutting forks just in case u decide to change frames or any other bits,and to be honest it will take sum gettin used to from a combat what ever u ridebut what is the problem is it to low,to high,if you be a bit more specific(think thats how you spell it) then you might get a little more info back Edited July 16, 2007 by trialschallenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I would cut the forks down for a start off aslong as you dont cut them down anyless than 190/185mm then them forks will fit more or less all modern frames. If it feels to high take the spacers out from underneath. To be honest this is hard for us to help you because its all how things feel for you so it should make things obvious for you to sort out. Best way to see which bars really suit you is to ride different bikes with different bars and see if risers or flat bars suit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
