Canardweb Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 hello, I am 1,80 meters tall maybe a bit more (like one or 2 cms more). All I want to know is what would be the perfect reach for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 reach and cockpit is a personal thing to suite riding style and compromise comfort with performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 there is no formula to it. depends on build, arm length, torso length, leg length, strength, stem geometry etc. its like saying i have a 1.82m string, how many knots can i tie in it? it depends on the knot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thank you! It's just because I am going to try a 20" stem (Try-all NUC) on my Echo Control 2009 this afternoon. and I wanted to know if that would suit me (mathematically speaking). Cheers and sorry!

Alex Dark Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 The nuc mod stem I would have thought will be too high for your frame....I'd use a stock NUC stem with some nice high rise bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The nuc mod stem I would have thought will be too high for your frame....I'd use a stock NUC stem with some nice high rise bars So I tested it... I'll keep my Tarty stem with my trialtech bars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 So I tested it... I'll keep my Tarty stem with my trialtech bars! good plan. remember, bar angle, lever angle and the amount of stem stackers can also make a pretty big difference to the ride and feel of the bike.

TROYston Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have found the sex for me. Megamo concept stem + adamant flats tilted forwards. But everyone is different. Try other peoples bikes, and adjusting your bar angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
