mr.tattoo Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) hi anyone no where i should measure my stem from basically my bike feels weird even after 2 weeks of riding, had a go on my mates mad 1.3 thing and it feels so much easier to ride, crank to stem is roughly same sizes on the bikes my rear ends shorter but hes stem is about half inch shorter and about 2 inches higher, wondered how i measure mine to find out what ive got before i order the wrong one? i need a new stem a bit higher and bit shorter? cheers Edited January 28, 2010 by mr.tattoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 That is a 130 x 15 Echo Hifi stem. With some nice high rise bars ( monty 22ti, Viz 720, TT sport etc. ) and a 10mm stacker that stem should be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.tattoo Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 hi guys thanks for the replies much apreciated, only prob is the stems too long for me as the bikes long too, want to get a shorter stem really, was thinking about the stacks but the steerer is short as it is and dont think it would take 10mm lol. do you reckon a 95mm stem is too short? theres an echo 115mm on tarty and what hieght would you say 20 ish degree? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 nah that simtras only little An echo 115 stem might be better for you? or possibly the tarty 125x20* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
