adamkeen_123 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 hi guys, i'm sort of a "newbie" to trials and ride an Ashton Effect, but i'm finding the 110mm BBB stem abit too twitchy and harder to learn stuff on it, do the shorter BBB stems have better leverage and are they less twitchy? if so, 90mm BBB or 70mm BBB? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Shorter stems feel more mountain bikey, whereas the longer stems on trials bikes provide better leverage, and although it seems hard to use, you soon get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamkeen_123 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 what about a 90mm? thats kind of in the middle? i rode my friends fourplay and the front end feels so much easier to handle with the 90 on it but not sure how it'll be on mine and thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just test stuff, it's sort of the expensive way, but you should find what you want, and there are a few different cheap, good quality stems in the for sale section. If a certain stem doesn't feel good, sell it on or send back and try another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
