Damon W Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 well, to be honest i didnt like it to much with how it was before, seemed weird to ridei decided it was because the front end was too low, becuase this new headtubes is cnc'ed lower, so i didnt want to put any more spacers on and i remembered how much i used to love the 2006 zoo barsso i got some 2006 VIZ MAX bars, which are the same as the old zoo'z shapewise, BUT, thicker material i used to run the gu bars with a 10 mm spacer under the stemnow im runnin the viz bars and a 5mm spacer! SOOOOOOOOOOOO much differentalso, not that you can see thesewasnt happy with the plazmatic crms on the back, i seem to ware them down way to fast, had 2 mm of pad left after 3 rides , so i went back to the blue rock pads, which i LOVE! propa loud and alot more bitey then plaz. these padsa are underrated!also put a hacksaw blade in my 74 kings tensioner to stiffen her up abit i reckomend anyone goin to own or who owns a 08 Gu tp should get high rise bars to compensate for the shorter headtubei prefer this frame to the 2007, the long stays are helpin me with a few certain moves anyway boardum + jus found a bike picture = this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The other option you could have tried damon to increase the ride height is to run a Viz stem 130mm/20 rise (5 degrees higher than your current Echo Hi-Fi 130mm/15 rise). something im currently experiementing on my 07 Adamant A1 esspecially now that switching from using Echo Control forks to Echo Urban forks which are taller because of the reverse mounted magura mount. shame you didnt take a closer pic of your bike.
