Carlperkins Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 alright guys i got my echo trial 24". currently running trialtech sport bars and i think a trialtech sport forged stem this one.. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_stems/trialtech_sport_forged/c41p10429.html, and my front end feels really low! im 6'0" tall. what stems and bars is everyone else running? i'm thinking of getting a mod stem to bring my front end up a little, thinking this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_stems/trialtech_sport_forged/c29p10437.html anyone know if this would be any better? im a complete novice on geo of bikes etc, never really given it a second thought. Cheers for any advice in advance. carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I don't ride an Echo 24" but I use a Bonz stem with the same geometry on a 26" Pure. It feels fantastic so I'd assume it should go just as well with smaller wheels, shorter reach and a higher bb. That'd definitely be my choice on a 24" bike.

Laurence--Trials Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 That stem looks good to me:) should make your bike ride much rider, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm running a tryall 3D mod stem and tryall carbon with 15mm of spacers. Works perfectly for me but I'm a bit shorter than you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 ive got the choice of ... 150 x 35 degrees http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_stems/trialtech_sport_forged/c29p10437.html 165 x 35 or 180 x 35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_stems/trialtech_race_forged/c29p10462.html is the 165 and 180 overkill? sorry guys im a complete noob at geo stuff.
