isitafox Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Assuming you run the Echo TR one all I can suggest is the trialtech sport forged which is what I've got. It's shorter with more rise than the Echo so should make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Assuming you run the Echo TR one all I can suggest is the trialtech sport forged which is what I've got. It's shorter with more rise than the Echo so should make a difference. And if that's still not enough, chuck some higher rise bars on there, too. Also bear in mind that it could have something to do with riding posture - rather than your set up. Too straight a back, or too bent a back both cause issues. Ask people you ride with if your body position looks unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Depending on your current stem, a longer stem might not actually make your bike longer if it has more rise. If you use this chart (but bear in mind you effectively need to tilt it back to meet your headtube angle), you can work it out: Don't know if you got my PM, but I've got the big ol' Trialtech Race stem here that I can do reasonably cheap 185 x 40, I think?
