t33zr Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Here are some measurements i got from tartybikes & Trials-uk:Meta stem @ trials-uk : - Size: 175mm x 35 DegreeMeta stem @ tartybikes: - Size: 165mm x 35 DegreeV!z forged @ trials-uk : - Size: 175mm x 35 DegreeV!z forged @ tartybikes: - Size: 175mm x 40 DegreeI was looking for a new stem and i saw the meta stem on tartys pages... so i compaired my v!z stem with the meta stem...The Meta was tiny bit shorter and lower.... EXACTLY what i wanted...!So i went for the meta stem.....Today i recieved it.... and when i compaired them together, the meta was exact the same angle, but a bit shorter...So... what webpages got right measurements?? this confuses me.... EDIT: Ok... it seems like danko have changed his meta measurements to 165 x 35...But then tartybikes still got some wrong measurements....

AdamR28 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ok, I've just measured both the stems and they are 170mm (along their length) x 35 degree.Sorry for any confusion, I often take the manufacturer's geo on stems without actually measuring it... Guilty as charged!Have edited the two stems in question now and will measure the others as soon as I get a few spare minutes Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 There shouldn't be... any chance of a pic? I do have one silver V!Z stem here which is a slight anomaly (maybe 3-4mm shorter than the rest) but the others (all the V!Z and Meta) are identical.CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t33zr Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) You can clearly see that its not the same lenght....And i have no idea why its like this...BUT... it confuses me when you say they are the same, and trials-uk say they are not....

Patt dosen't feed her much...JarrodThe point was that i wanted a shorter and LOWER stem....The meta is only shorter.... Tartys homepage says the stem is lower and shorterAdam says the stem is the exact same as V!z.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Judging by the pic, theres at least 5-7mm difference between the two stems. as long as your happy with the set-up and feel, i wouldnt be too fussed about it. though that is strange!

Thats what i'm saying I just didn't think there could be that much difference but your photo's made me understand.Jarrod Edited January 18, 2008 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
