Greetings Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Only experience I've had with these bikes was an Inspired with a 120x17 Trialtech stem. That bike was atrocious. What should a 24" street-trials bike feel like? Normal street bikes are flicky, very short and have a pretty upright riding position. At least from looking at the geometry, a street-trials bikes should feel completely different - long front end, high bb, slightly stretched position. What bar/stem combo would you recommend with an Echo Urban frame (1040/35/73)? I'd like to be able to bunnyhop easily, for the bike to be flicky but also fairly good for trials riding. Obviously for riding trials I have a stock bike, but not being able to sidehop easily or gap would put me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The BB height shouldn't be judged with the same yardstick as on a stock. +35 is quite low. If you want a street bike feel, a good stem is something like 100mm and 10 deg rise, and then to go with it, some massive rise bars. Something like that. The onza PZ31 stem is a good choice, I think.
