butcha87 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Try getting higher rise bars?What height are yours right now?90mm will be a good compromise, don't know if it will make that much more difference though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bquamb Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 90mm is the best way I believe (Y) but hey im new and i havint tried much yet... so dont take my word for it :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Go for something 90mm in length, with at least 10-15 rise :angry: It will help, but its not gona make you a bunnyhop master straight away. Maybe whack a stacker under there too to bring the bar hieght up a little. Laters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 you could try practicing your technique, i used to have a giant martin hawyes with fatty-r forks, 5mm headset spacer, 100mm 5 degree stem and 2 degree rise pro taper bars and i could bunnyhop about 38 - 40inch over stuff but yeah if you still have trouble then a shorter slightly more high rise stem would help as it will make the front end easier to lift into a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Higher rise will help you bunny, but you might find a shorter stem might help more. My mate changed his easton (long-ish) stem to a short raceface one and it felt MUCH better for bunnyhopping in my opinion :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsguru Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 ok cheers for your help guys, does anyone know any decent stems that are 90mm with 15 degrees rise i can only find ones with 10 degrees cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I had flat bars and a trials type stem 31.8 clamp, i switched to normal sized clamp and a normal kinda stem with some 2 inch riser bars and i floated up 50" the change was amazing i could buny hop manuel do all this streety shit, it was so much fun.
