Rebelistic Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, I've just got my new 07 Pure built up and it seems pretty good however I'm unsure about my stem.I just fitted a 105mm 5 degree rise (I think) stem and I think my bars feel too low. The bike has a BB rise of 35mm so I guess I need one of those long high rise stems to give me more room. I've just switched from my old Pure with a zero BB rise and my lower back aches a bit after a few hours riding.Can anyone recommend a good stem for this style of frame?Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 just because it has a bb rise doesnt necessarily mean you have to have a longer stem, you can always run spacers under the current stem you have. with a bb rise yes a higher front end is good to counter the bb rise but, running spacers is a good idea ali c did it with his czar and that rides sexy. If not get something like the pazzaz stem 120x17 that should be nice. but stems are a very personal thing so its hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelistic Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Cheers, Yeah I've already put quite a few spacers on - the bars are still on the low side though and beacase of the head angle the more spacers I put on the bars move closer to me, if you see what I mean.I do Think it needs a new stem, just not sure what as I picked the 105x5 based on the chart on tartybikes for this BB rise.

The Duck Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Simtra re-stem feels shit hot on the new pures...Or you could try the echo 130x15 (same deg rise but slightly longer reach)Edit: I run that echo stem on my Czar (almost identical geo) Edited October 8, 2007 by Quackers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well, the pure has fairly low rise? The Echo 115mm/10 (or something similar) stem should feel really nice. Had one on a Control, was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Cheers, I've ordered a longer one with more rise.Looks like I ordered the wrong one in the first place 105x5 was not what was recommended!I'll see how I get on.
