isitafox Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Personally I'd use a 70x35° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 What sort of riding do you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I find the slacker head angle on the fourplays means that a short stem (70x35) makes it a bit chopper-like. I'd go with 90x35 to keep the weight over the front for better front wheel tricks, it still feels plenty good for hops and stuff if you have your bars in line with the head tube.

Or would a 90x25 be better? Out of interest what stem was Duncan using in the inspired Barcelona trip vid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 he was using a 90x35, a Hope 70x25 is good too, the lower angle increases the reach slightly, but it's still a little shorter than a 90x35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a 70x25hope stem, do you know anyone who has one ? Cheers james Edited March 4, 2014 by James281098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
