Mat Smith! Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 You dont HAVE too, it adds hight onto your stem, so makes it higher my however mill you put under it. you can get stackers from anywere pretty much. Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrAsHeR Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Just makes you stem/bars higher, the higher it is the harder it will be to pull the front up. And the lower the easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 what is the point in masturbation? it performs a job. Some people prefer to have a higher stem, it alters how the bike feels and responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubuntu_user Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 How am I suppose to know where I like it? My bike has a 40+ bb rise if that matters any... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 stackers are there so you can fit your topcap properly with a proper preload onto the starnut, otherwise your end will be all over the place, you can either have it on top or below the stem depending on the riding position, you just need to try it out. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A higher stem would make it easier to pull the front up, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
