Bionic Balls Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 just got a new frame (z1)..used to have a Bt raven 5. Thing is, the bars now feel really low! i've got adamant risers on a pz31 stem (100x5 i think)...the zhi is advertised as 1075 with +35bb but i don't think it's actually that high.what do other people run on this frame? i don't know anyone else with one! brett penfold?cheers,adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 i ran a pazzaz stem with 10mm of stackers on my one it still felt abit cramped imo, so i think a try-all 130x20 with no stackers would be better suited, it feels really nice on my ozonys, that has the same bb rise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would say that stem is way to big 145x25 that like a mod stem really, I rode waddys bike with the pazzaz stem and i really liked it, i would say either use a pazzaz (120x17) a try all (130x20) or a echo (130x15) any of them stems will compliment the bb rise well. i wouldnt go any bigger than any of them stems as it will be just to high.

planet-x-boy Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I use a hifi low stem (115/10 i think, not sure.) someone from tarty can clarify that if im wrong. I use it with about 8mm stackers on depending on what forks im using and feels as good as i think it will get. The low koxx one i think will feel good too.Hope that helps. Brett.

T.McMillan Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) i have got a zhi z2 which is 1075mm +35mm, but the z1 is 1080mm +35mm, so pretty much the same i did use a echo 130mm 15 deg and it felt so nice, but now i use a USE stem 130mm 8 deg but ive got 10mm spacers so the bars are in the exact same place, well pretty much. id say go for that kind of size, echo 130mm 15 deg, i did have a hope 90mm 10 deg, but i was really squished on the bike, so dont go smalltom Edited August 22, 2007 by speedyjustice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 cramped!!! it was lanky as fook, far too long for my liking.what does that mean? lanky as fook? duh...?i'm swinging towards the pazzaz! especially as someone is selling me one...120 x 17 sounds pretty decent to me....and i have stackers...cheers,adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
