GyTrials Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 frame is to short mate, mod stem would feel horrible on that bike plus you would just hit your legs higher up steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestDump Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Im lost on all the new frames...which ones are best for taller riders? Well Tunnicliffe looks like a tall chap and he rides one of the new Echo frames. Just have a look for the ones with a long wheelbase, I'm 6ft3 and ride a mod haha.

WIGAN ?? Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) if your taller you want a lower bb and a higher front end, i run a mod stem on my A1 and it feels lovely Edited October 12, 2011 by WIGAN ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I have a couple of friends who are around 6ft 5, running mod or modish stems work really well for them. For example, one of them runs Echo stem 160x25 plus Trialtech High Rise bars, he says it's probably the best set up he's ever used. But don't listen me, i'm only 6ft tall. ;D Edited October 13, 2011 by MiuSliS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 if your taller you want a lower bb and a higher front end, i run a mod stem on my A1 and it feels lovely Wigan in massive generalisation shock. Its preference. Lots of riders are now using mod stems on stocks. Usually on very high BB comp frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
