luccosleeps Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 you could be running a really low rised stem?? that may be the cause of it because with high bb frames you gotta run a steep angled stem to keep balanced on t he back.

Andy King Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 What was your last bike?i had an echo es3, ive got a new stem (20 degree rise, 100mm long) so that should compensate for the bb, i think i just need to get used to it!! only had it or a few hours, and i love it already, i cant keep the front wheel down!! Rock on!andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Andy.........You will be fine, I run the low echo hi-fi stem on my bike, with no spacers and zoo bars tilted reet forward. It is very low when just riding along, but gives a bike that is uber stable on the back wheel.You will get on with it, and your body will adjust to the new position. HOWEVER, if it continues then get a slightly higher rise stem. Maybe the echo hi-fi high rise stem then it should be alright. I love mine.hope you enjoy it.just so you know its not amazing for tapping, but they can be done with practice. So many people on here didnt give high BB a chance at all, and for those of us that have. ITS AWESOME.I love it, its good for stuff i enjoy doing. ITS THE FUTURE ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
