Biff Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Alright geezas, Just got myself an Zoo! 06 Pitbull, 1085 model (high BB). Would the bike ride ok with the Zoo stem, or will i need the high rise Echo (on the hi-fi). If somebody with some knowledge or has a similar set up could answer this question it would be really helpful. Piece, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need a high rise stem such as the hi-fi one. You can use a Zoo stem (presuming you have one) with some stem spacer/stackers but you'll need a few. I've a Hi-fi stem at home if you need one. You'll have to catch me on msn tonight though or unless you want me number and sort it today soemtime. Got a pic of you steed??

Biff Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hi Pete, got a few pictures of it at on my comp, the reason im asking is because CLS and Neil T both used the zoo stem and found the bike a little hard going to ride, Neil said id love it with the Zoo stem but i just dont want to bugger up the Geo of the bike. Damon Watsons Kot is basically longer (1100 WB) but same BB rise, and he uses low echo stem which rides like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Zoo stem is the MOD stem your talking about or the Stock stem some 3D thing? Anyhting thats over +20mm bb is gonna need a different stem really dude. It's to make the distance between the bars and the center of the BB what it would be on a 0*rise BB frame/bike. if you look on the Zoo website it does show it with a Hi-fi stem. The zoo is 50mm bb and 1085mm so i'd defo get the hifi as the High BB make the cockpit really small and not like a 1085mm steed should feel like. Just checked the pic on Zoobike.com and then the new Hi-fi stems. I'd say they are showing it with a 130mm length with 15 degree rise one. Looks very low and long...where a sthe stem i have is 130mm length, with 30 degree rise which was the 1st Echo Hi-fi stem they brought out. ^ i can see having 3 differnt Hi-fi stems going to be very hard and confusing and many order made wrong i bet you.

Ross Gardner Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 my m8 had the zoo stem and it was too small on his bike, it hurt your back when you rode it beacuse you had to hunch your back all the time soo yer get the hifi stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huge Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i was trying to choose between the echo hifi and zoo stem for my bt raven6 but i ended up getting a base 20*120 stem from bikedock. its a good medium and is comfortable to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 someone said neil tunnicliffe rode it with a normal 26" stem and it just kept looping out on the back wheel, id say you are better of with the right stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
