J.KYDD Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Its pretty common yeah. Alot of the top comp riders are experimenting with it atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I had the old tryall mod stem on my gu typhooon stock, but you've gotta consider what bars you have too, and how you'll be riding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I wouldnt bother if its a low bb, i had a monty kamel stem on my limey 3 for a few months, beautiful for static stuff like gaps/siddles etc. But made upto backs and stuff quite hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I run a monty 231Kamel stem on my Phase 1.1 with 10mm of stackers which makes it really quite high. It now rides so much better than when I had a lower Hope stem but with 20mm of stackers. Gaps and up to fronts are now so much easier, as are pedal hops. I won't be going back to the lower stem!
