Alternatively theres the F.S/wanted section on here but seeing as your a new member you'd have to get their msn/phone number and ask them really politely to sell one to you. Or you could look on ebay.Echos are good, as are onza stems, seen a couple of snapped viz ones and i've heard good things about the toxsin stems.choice is yours.

RobinJI Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 It might just be worth seeing if you get used to it, I'm riding a 1050 wheelbase 24" with a 65mm stem, which works out as a good bit shorter than a zoot, it felt short at first, but once you get used to it its great, makes everything so fun. Kinda like downhilling with bugger all suspension, take a bit more effort to do as well in a comp, but its bloody fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
