Parr22czar Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 What bike do you have? cos the vinco has a 20in stem on, i think becouse the high bb rise but weird i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 it may be weird but the vinco rides like a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch2 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 First of all - it looks wierd, second - if you had no opinion you have to get use to the new geometry. I wouldn`t use a mod stem on my stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 i was in france once. saw this girl on a road bike with bmx handlebars. looked silly! er.. does depend on how high your bb is. maybe there's a way of working it out. just try it ? i wouldn't though..

Tim-Hill..Yeah Mate Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) Hi,I was riding stock about 3-4 days back with a mod tryall stem ( the long 25.4 ) i found it far too long and high, when the bike was stood up the bars were almost nipple height it was a koxx level boss 26, suprisingly it actualy rid really nice front end felt as light as feathers and lifted nice and easy, couldn't tuck with that setup at all though.best to just stick with the short low rise stems for 26.Tim.

Tall_Rob Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 My 05 pitbull long.150mm by 3 degree rise.Huge because i'm 6'6"Rides so well on the rear wheel and is still flickable for natural.Can 360 spin on the rear wheel, 180 normal, reverse and aly-oop, 270, manuel (sort of), tap, bunny hop (bloody high), rolling gaps, front wheel moves and all that shizzle. So it can be done with that amount of rise on the front end.Just takes time to get accustomed to the feel, which most people that have tried, seem to get on well with my bike. They like the feel of how it handles.Check the pics......http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=85955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna be going for the Hi-Fi 130mm x 15 degrees stem on my t-rex shortly. Again because i'm quite tall. I reckon it'll be just right for me.

Wright Pads Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think maybe 30 degrees? I'm gonna be going for the Hi-Fi 130mm x 15 degrees stem on my t-rex shortly. Again because i'm quite tall. I reckon it'll be just right for me.Kris i'm currently running the original Hi-fi stem on my cosut. It looks bit too big but it feels and rides mint. The vinco rides amazing, you need a 155x40 at least with 1115wb and +80mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
