I advise you to try the ozonys xr20, bit of a steep price, but Woody (Ashley Wood) runs one and its f-ing amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 yeah i'd advise the same^^^^grab a longer mod frame to save on replacing wheels/forks and getting new parts that suit the geo (stem/bars etc)i run stock (5'8" ish not really sure) sometimes wonder if mod would be better. buuut....... i also love riding stock, i can be much more creative on it. and i ride better on itbest way is to try a mates stock and a longer mod and see what the deal is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 It's all down to personnal preference, if your comfortable on mod it might just be you want another frame.But it'd probably be worth trying out a stock or 24" just to see.

eskimo Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The obvious solution would be to ride a different stem, preferably a longer one with more angle. But angle would depend on your style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 If you are looking for a new frame id stick with a mod. Your used to riding mod, if you move to a stock it will take a bit of getting used to. The fact that you have all the part for a mod helps to as it will work out cheaper for you. Or better still just change the stem to start see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
