Ryan Blackwell Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) Hey guys. At the moment im using an onza T-master stem and because its so high every time i gap the bike seems to go vertical so it feels as if im going to come off the back and the wheel comes out underneath me.Could getting a longer lower stem sort this (Ect Echo team stem..........)What im trying to say is if i change my stem for a T-master to an Echo team will i feel alot of diffrence in moves (gaps ect....)Cheers in advance.

Onza Kieron Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Stem is one of the main things to alter the feel of your bike. Changing the stem obviously will give advantages and disadvantages but I couldn't tell you what it will do to your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 the echo team stem is right inbetween the t master and a zoo stem the zoo stem is long but is very low so u can gap far but the t master is very high and short so u can backwheel and bunnyhop so im in the same position as you and i need a echo team stem bad so thats what id go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 get the team i reckon, medium ride stems, which put your weight over the backwheel on preloads are what your after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Blackwell Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I just had a read on tarty and they claim that the hifi mod stem is the replacement model for the zoo! mod stem. When they say replacement do they mean the same geometery or a diffrent model becuase the zoo! is no longer made.Also im looking at changing my stem to gap ferther would it be best to go for the longest and lowest stem possable.Cheers.

Muel Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I got a Try-All stem, the same height as a team but more reach. Team stem was too close for me when I tried one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 When they say replacement do they mean the same geometery or a diffrent model becuase the zoo! is no longer made.Both!The Team stem is looowww, if you like street bashing then it's good, too low for natural though.High stems make the bike flatter on the rear wheel, not more vertical.
