aener Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I know the bars and stem make a MASSIVE difference to the ride... I had Monty bars, and an Echo TR stem. (86mm total rise, 10* and 11* - and 170mm x 30*) Bars got creaky, and a hamfisted willy ( :$ ) overtightened the clamp on the stem. Now got Tarty bars (85mm total rise) and need a stem. Money is getting tight, and the only reasonably priced big stem I can find is the Onza master. One on eBay claiming to be 180mm x 40*. (Tarty out of stock, and claim to be 185, too.) It's to be on an Onza Comp Would you reckon this combination is gonna feel just rediculously high? I don't want another TR stem - 2 bolt clamps are a stupid idea. Cheers Edit: Or does anyone know when Tarty'll get the TMS 180x35 stems in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Do you run any stem stackers with your current/old setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've got a Trialtech Race welded stem here in that geo that I could do cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've got a Trialtech Race welded stem here in that geo that I could do cheap... Does "in that geo" refer to 170 x 30? If yes then consider me very interested. I looked at them - the 165 x 35 - but I think it was the long and not so much rise on the Echo one that made it nice. ...Or am I overestimating what those 5* will do? Consider this option mild interest Also, how much is cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 It's the T-Master-esque one - 185 x 40. £20 posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
