Choise Of Good Stem For Mod.

[Crazyman]

Hi!

My old stem is cracked and now I choose a new stem.

I choose between

-Trialtech sport stem 150*35 http://crazybike.ru/components/com_virtuem...ech_forged1.jpg

-Viz logic 150*30,150*25 or 160*25 http://crazybike.ru/components/com_virtuem...m_viz_logic.jpg

-Viz 175*35 http://crazybike.ru/components/com_virtuem...em_viz_mod2.jpg

What the best between them by geo if I like gapping/side-hop very much?

Bar is monty riser, short(about 1005-1010) frame and height is 182 cm.

TrialTech stems look spot on. Geo wise not just looks.

Ill be investing in one actually...

The Trialtech Race stem has good geometry. It's based on the original T-Master stem by Onza, which was freaking huge.... but a machine for bunnyhopping with. It did actually make everything feel nicer... including gaps and sidehops since the bike lifted so much easier. I'm not a fan of low stems, and the whole idea of 'low stem for TGS' is all hype and provides no real extra benefit. High stems= more comfortable cycling position in most cases, easier to lift front wheel meaning you can play about with BMX style moves WAY more easily, comfier bunnyhopping and backwheeling, as well as benefits to gapping and sidehops since the front end just soars up so easier.. which helped me get to grips with pinch-gapping a lot more.

Low stem's advantages? A mere 10-20g of weight shaved? Pretty much about it. Not being able to pull up into bunnyhop or manual comfortably is something which makes me dislike low stems greatly. Not to mention hunched-back ness and more weight concentrated on the wrists.
