JonCongreve Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Depends what you're changing from, but if you're just saying you're changing to wider bars and a longer stem then you should find it will feel alot nicer.I went from a 100mm Onza stem with 27" flat Onza bars to Zoo! riser bars and a 130mm Echo stem on my Echo Control, and it felt sooooo much better .So basically i found that changing to wider bars and a longer stem made the bike feel alot better (probably as i'm quite tall), just go for it and you it should make the bike ride alot nicer Also - Just seen that you come from Peterborough, as i'm from around this area and would like to ride Peterborough, but i don't know what it's like for riding....?ThanksJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I went from Koxx bar + stem to zoo bar + stemDisadvantage: Definitly can't pigeon as highAdvantage: Bunnyhops so much easier. Feels more comfortable on the backwheelBoth of my bars were un cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
