Dale-Hill Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Nooooo,Also is your stem oversized?Also if it is, what about the rockman?more rise and much better than echo IMO. Edited August 20, 2009 by Dale-Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR_Vince Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 "Onza cromo stem and 'flat' trials handlebar."That is what it says in the description, so don't know if it is oversized, it's just the standard stem. Would the stem need upgrading too?I'm also looking at grips, because on the picture the standard grips look really bad. This look good?http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTR_Vince Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm not to keen on foam, but I see a lot of riders use them, so it must be good. I'll give it a go, thanks.Here is what I have now on my list:Onza BladeTrialTech Foam Grips - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=132DMR V8 Pedals - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=23Rockman 7046 Riser Handlebars - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=138Can you guys recommend a good stem for my bike, not too expensive, but not a cheapy one I can throw away after a few days.

Greetings Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I wasn't keen on foam either but Trialtechs completely changed the way I think about such grips. They're just the best thing ever. They don't slip at all, grip well, don't wear and are easy on your hands.Echo SL stems are good, TR would be average. If you're looking at normal welded stems, take into account that most of them are probably made in the same factory but have a different logo printed on them. So don't go for the most expensive one, it might be identical to something much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
