Whats The Lowest Mod Stem..?

[SQuiT-man]

So..

What is it?

I want something higher than my zoo stem (and preferably a little longer if possible). The monty stem would be fine, but I just dont want to cut my steerer at an angle, and I dont think you can get non-sloped ones, can you?

Cheers,

Scott

just because the stem is sloped doent mean the steerer has to

just cut the steerer before the slope :sleeping:

Yep, that's all you do. Good stems too. (Y)

[SQuiT-man]

Ohhh I see, I might try that then. Will I be able to use my current xlite stem plug then? As surely any tension from it pulling the stem securely down the steerer would be lop-sided, and only on the top part of the slope of the stem?

Any more suggestions for other low stems appreciated

You couldn't use your Xlite stem plug, I don't think - assuming you mean "XLite" the parts company, not the Monty name?

Stupid companies and their stoopid names :sleeping:

Aaaaaaanyhoo, I'd recommend the T-Master stem 'cos I'm digging the whole higher front end shit. Alternatively, why not try the Viz stem maybe? *shrugs*

The Zoo! was about 14ft too low for my liking.

I've got a high rise onza bar and stem you could have for £15 posted.

Hehehe still got them nick, surprised you havent given em away yet lol :sleeping:"

[Urpedigreechumdog]

Yeah lol, and i need some cash too to build a rear wheel.

echo is about middle distance and imo perfect.

bang one of them on with some zoo bars and you're away. *thumbsup*

[Caleb]

Yppu what rich said is provng to be a very succesfull set up i know at least 3 people with that set up already and they do feel good.

And the zoo bars have just been cut in price so you should be able to get the pair fo around £60 :sleeping:

The Team is pretty much exactly the same as the T-Master.

If you want to lose more money by going for it just 'cos it says "Echo" and has a worse warranty, go right ahead :sleeping:

you sure?

i always thought the t-master stem was mondo high?

*goes to check some pictures*

[Mark W]

Check some facts instead :sleeping:

Team: - 145mm reach with a 40° rise.

T-Master: - 145mm reach with a 40° rise.

From www.tartybikes.co.uk

And from the fact that I had a Team stem next to my T-Master stem.

[RicH_87]

haha fair enough, those stats are pretty similar :sleeping:"

and yeh looking at the pictures they do look much identical, only difference is i have the flat zerostack cap where as you have the volcano shaped one.

[Mark W]

That last sentence confused the buggery out of me :sleeping:

Sikamon bought the Team stem with the Pazzaz risers, and I had the T-Master with the Pazzaz risers. Exact same set-up, although his bars differed slightly to mine.

The only difference really is that the Team stem clamp bit is a few mil higher, but nothing much at all, really. I'd still rather have the T-Master and a f**kin' good warranty, to be honest.

[Mark W]

Is that still the ZS2?

[RicH_87]

yeh think so,

i have two, one with the volcano, and the one thats flat.

both same model, same size, same everything, just ones zero rise and one isn't.
