Radfax Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi, well after rising a mates bike with a lower rise on it and riding a bit better i am looking into buying a lower rise stem for my mod. I am looking at running a 150mmx25* rise with a set of onza carbon risers. I would just like to ask would this be to low? I am 6ft amd my wheelbase is 1010mm with +50mm bb rise. Could anyone aroung my height give me some advice on running low stems, is the combination i am looking at too low?what do you run and what do you think?Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 play on as many bikes with different stems as you can, borrow peoples stems for an hour or two + findone you like, no clue hoe geo of stems affects things/cba with essays. i always prefered high stems though buy a few 2nd hand? whats you riding style? tgs? or spinny bunny hoppy stuff?

Radfax Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 wel myriding style isnt anything really, i am just getting into the stoprt so i suppose i could adapt myself, although i do like the old bunny hops now and again. would a low stem and bar combo effect this much?i rode a friends bike with adamant risers and a echo hifi stem and i loved it! felt ace on the back wheel and in my eyes felt spot on!
