Azarathal Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Riding and Echo 24 trial atm, came with a because stock stem but because everyone's been raving on about how mod stems are better etcetc I've decided to try my old Echo team mod stem. Problem is I don't know the geo of either. The because was running 10mm of spacers but the Echo stem has such a large clamp area I can't use spacers with it. The attached pics are the stems in question. Echo Team. Because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Team: Probably around 180x40 Because: Probably around 120x20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 The echo stem can't be that surely? The because sounds familiar, I think thats what Jack told me it was I just can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Echo did a Team stem that was around that, in that it was almost identical to the T-Master stem geo. A ruler should give you an idea though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Looks like its closer to 140/150 according to the measure. Thanks anyway, should've measured it from the start to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Cool, probs be a standard 150x30 sorta deal then. Usually that's pretty much ideal for that frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'll see how it goes. If it feels nicer than I'll order a "prettier" stem with the same geo Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 About an hour of just riding around aimlessly hopping smallish walls, those little gas/water main things that look like tombstones etc and I have to say it feels sooooo much nicer. I wonder why they dont come complete with a mod stem? If everyone that has ridden the bike raves about that and my first impressions are good.
