Krisboats Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 From personal experince on bigger bikes long stem gives more backwheel control, slightly slower to lift up. Shorter makes it more flicky and easier to pull up at the expense of having slouched shoulders and feeling a little more skittish to control when on the back wheel. It's going to be a mod though, in which case i'd say stop being a baby and just buy one. You'll get used to it. I'm currently bunnyhopping a t-rex with a 135mmx15 stem. Any mod should be bunnyhoppable, you just have to get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I've got those bars and am running a 150x35 stem with about 20-30mm of stackers, and it feels great. The bars have a fair whack of rise so I wouldnt go any bigger than 165 unless your frame has quite a high BB rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm in the same situation. Going back to a long bike (echo lite) and and not sure what stem to use. I was thinking a short stem ie 150mm might be better. Something like a try-all 3d. What do people run and how do they get on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
