Tom_ Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) I am building up a T-pro, and was just wondering if anyone had any opinions, on etheir the Monty 221pr stem, or a Echo team (or any other mod stem) ?could you please includeHow the stem makes the bike feel/ride?Which bar you feel suits it best (riser or flat)How it compares to any other stem you have used?And would you recomend it?I am currently running a flat bar but will happily change to a riser if necesary.cheerstom Edited September 6, 2006 by tom132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvil Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Monty stem its looks betterand feels betterwould recommend raiser barandobiviously get the right lenghtEcho team stemwhen i used it it gave a different feelinbut it might be because i m used to the monty stemso i cant give u much of an opinion with it personally i would get the montybecause its has a much better feelas its not as steep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 i'd say get the echo to be honest. Echo stem with zoo bars is the shiz. I've ridden someones python with these on, IT feels great compared to my zona's front end. I have a zoo stem and zoo bars. We both have the same forks as well so obviously its the stem thats making the difference. Plus monty stuff is overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus monty stuff is overpriced.The monty stem is 12 quid (pound sign button doesnt work ) But I think I will get the echo as Im not sure weather the monty stem will make the front of my bike too low.tom Edited September 6, 2006 by tom132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Depends on if you think a high/low front end would be better for you.I had Echo Team stem, Zoo bars on my T-Pro, and it felt lovely. (Running the same on my Zona).I've had a go on a bike with a low Monty stem, and it felt to hard on the backwheel to me.It's all personal preference.

Mat Smith! Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 My mate moved from Zoo bar & stem to Monty, sooo gorgeous, and I love it too, best set up ever.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 God this is hard to work out as evryone seems to have a different view. I would normally try a bike with both before I buy something, but no one around here rides with either stem (they all use t-master stems) so Im a bit stuck. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
