stya_bear Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hey Guys, I have always ridden MOD but recently I have been riding my friends stock while out with him, and the general size of the bike feels to fit much better, and I can gap further with the stock... But I only have one issue, the front end feels to short... do any of you run a long stem on a stock? and any suggestions to a stock bike? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I feel exactly the same when I ride my stock which is why I'm changing the entire front end, forks, stem and bars, to go for a high rise stem and some decent riser bars to get some height at the front. I believe that there's someone on here, maybe more, who rides with a mod stem on his stock so it's not unheard of to have a long high front!

cai Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I ran a 150 X 30 Viz Welded mod stem on my Adamant A2. It felt horrible with a Trailtech Sport stem, and still quite bad with a TartyBikes stem because they were so low. But the mod stem felt just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do like your bike mate! Something to think about for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I've tried a number of combinations in the past and found that with bb rise of around 40 and over a very good stem and bar combo is an Echo SL 138mm stem and Trialtech Risers. It's a fairly long setup but also gives sensible bar height. Generally if you're going over from mod you might want to try a stock bike with slightly higher bb rise (35-45mm). Don't go over 50 unless you know you like it. Many people don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
