ogre Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 might try it with an original zoo mod stem for funzies this weekend Ozzy what geo would you suggest for the SL stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey fag, how's life?Trialtech bar and stem, 10mm of stackage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 what geo would you suggest for the SL stem?You'll want the 138mm x 25°. Dave Kerr runs one on his Echo Control and it rides lush.I'd recomend the Tartybikes stem with Trialtech Sport bars, I run that on my Zhi Z2 (similar geo to yours, just +40bb) and it feels good. I've also got 25mm of stackers beneth it, so effectively makes my bb the same height as yours I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 might try it with an original zoo mod stem for funzies this weekend Ozzy what geo would you suggest for the SL stem?the 138x25 and have trial tech bars but tilt them slightly forward, the perfect 26" bar and stem combo imo. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Guys have you ever ridden a Simtra? You're recommending bar/stem combos for other frames!138x25 is too long and too high, I had a 130x30 before and it was nasty, they have a +20bb, 72HA and short stays, this spells fairly low, fairly short stem.

Muel Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well get rid of them shite bars first, thems nasty!I'd suggest a set of trialtech bars, then see how you get on with that stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
