Stem Setup

[anusthegreat]

Hello there. Since the approving system doesn't actually seem to work properly, posting here, lol

I'm currently riding almost completely stock Onza blade '09.

The frame has 1010 Wheelbase +50 Bottom Bracket 360 CS according to Onza site. It's time to change some parts, im about to order a new fork, stem and a handlebar and some tiny stuff, too. Which parts would

you suggest to make my ride feel more comfortable b/c now it's kinda short: i'm 188 cm tall. It's all about a high-riser handlebar, but what about a stem geo? I'm choosing between Echo SL, the longest 185mm one and some Trialtech stems, which are 150x30 or 35 degrees.

if you growth not more 180cm(5,904 feets) 150*30 will be great for you, but if u growth like 190-200(6,232 or more feets) i think you will be need stem with geo like 175*35 or 175*45

Before you buy a new stem it may be worthwhile fiddling with the existing setup. You could put more spacers under the stem (if the fork steerer is long enough) or try tilting your bars forward, both of these can make the bike feel bigger and less cramped.

Thanks, Cap, I have already tried those. I'm currently using some cro-mo, but a riser 700mm handlebar and it increased the tricks heights obviously already after switching from the stock flat bar by onza. Also, the current stem is 175x30. I want to try a 185x35 aswell. Guess, it's going to "stretch" my position riding the bike.
