Tom_ Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I would say the simtra/trialtech setup sounds gooood.On a lower BB bike I really liked my onza pz31 or whatever it is stem, the 17degreex120mm one with some lower bars, i have onzas but wouldnt really recomend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 as I said on the phone, I think the trialtech bars and simtra stem would be perfect! You said your setup was a tad low, the trialtech bars have more upsweep than your onzas so should bring the front up a bit (as well as feel amazing) I use a trialtech stem as well, some people find it a tad tall, so the simtra stem should bring it slightly lower and closer which sounds just what your after at your hight. Its also worth experimenting with spacers when you fit your forks, find a hight you find best then cut the forks.PS, welcome to the world of stocks!

Dave Anscombe Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah i guess your right ali all i have to do really is experiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Viz fords are lovely, Had no real problems with mine, Just be careful with the top cap thing. made of cheese. What I done it use a starnut and tapped that in, Works fine, 185mm will be fine on a stock, Ran it for a while.Then moved up to 203mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 depends on what you like though? i mean was your mod set up low or high? on my A3 i had a monty ti stem with old zoo bars, then on my 07 pitbull i had the zoo cnc'd stem with the old zoo bars, was pretty low but i loved it...and to answer you disc question, yes i had a 180 louise and it was without doubt the best front brake i ever had.

Dave Anscombe Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 i think the front end was fairly low on the mod....but stock bb feels so low i need a higher bar and stem .......i have gone for the simtra stem and trial tec bars.....see how i get on with them and thanks for clearing that one up for me on the disc rotor size 185 it is then Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
