howvard Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I am riding a stock bike and latley have been changing the hieght of my stems. I have a low rise and a high rise stems but I dont know which one to go for. So i am asking you guys what you are using and what do you think is the best Cheers (i ride mainly street and rocks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 If you ride street then high is the way to go but it all depends on he geometry of the frame. Thanks for getting me my 3000th post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 What geometry is your bike. Generally a high bb needs to be coupled with a reasonably high front. Having ridden both low and high front ends on a variety of 26" frames i can definitely say that i prefer a high front to a low one. Best bet is to have a play with both stems and see what you take to more. Also, bars have a profound effect on the feel of your bike, what are you running atm?
