Mr Motivator Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 After going back to my Zoo bars from my old Echos, I have noticed how high my bars have suddenly become and they are actually throwing me off the back of the bike and I have to actually think about keeping the front low all the time Anyway, I've used a 110 Monty Urban stem for aaaaaages, so a change is in order.Preferably something as long, or longer if possible (too tall) but lower than the Monty which is pretty high.Any recomendations? It's for a Toxsin 1 btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Or for ghetto cheap fix it - Turn the Monty upsidedown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Don't really want to spend 55quid on a stem really. I see no point. My Monty was £25 and that's done me fine.How about something of the echo variety?I need some new forks too, but I have my eye on some Zoo urbans for that.110mm X 5deg. Any good?

flipkickbs Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Echo stems look very good value, i'd go for one of those. Ian Edited June 8, 2006 by flipkickbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 echo stems are very boring though If the hope is too much, then the titec rip stem is spot on!! I think they are £17 and have a lifetime warrenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Titec is going to be too short. Might go for the Echo, even if it is boring.If I was going to spend £50+, I'd buy a Thompson or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 105mm will be spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 ran a echo stem for a good year and a bit... had no problems... really good stems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseytrial Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Toxsin stems are 158 gs only and are very strong. No one has broke one. Cheap too. Im using hHigh bars at the mo dow so Ive opted for a echo hifi stem. I used the higher shorter version with shorter forks and with toxsin forks I use the longer lower one. High bars are well good for front wheel stuff and landin drops etc. Its cos your body is more up right obiously.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
