Concussion Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) This one to give a little rise, forgot the dimensions. Feels good, but I'm hopping to get some risers and throw the old one back on soon. Edited February 18, 2007 by Concussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 when i had my t-rex which i do miss i ran firstly the onza hi rise stem with the smaller bars (not 31.8mm clamp) then i bouht a flater stem and onza carbon flat bars with the higher stem i found that i couldnt wheelie hop but my bunny hops where pretty big (4 blue crates to back wheel) this was like a year and half agowith the flat stem and onza carbon bars i learnt how to wheelie hop and its only gone higher by a crate or so i have the stem still if you would like it for a small price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 onza oversized standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netherking Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 hey what bars were you using with your zoo stem? riser bars or flat?and what spacing did you have? i'm thinking maybe 25mm spacing then that CNC zoo stem with zoo riser bars.chars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I used 100mm Echo.But I think they're discontinued now... In which case Zoo CNC is the closest to go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Curently got a 110mmx 7 degrees stem, going to get an echo hifi- 130mmx15 degrees though and lose all my stem stackers. Anyone know how far down the thread goes in smart guy forks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That EXACT thing happened to me today with that piece of sh!t stem!So savage, was tucking ready for a gap and as I kicked it jsut snapped on me.I think its safe to say most things on a spec 1 t-rex will need to be replaced as soon as you hit a reasonable standard. Im sorted with a longer onza stem now.Sorry this is off topic(Y)Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 yeah i had to get a new crank set like straight away. what you running then? stem wise? and gears?i'm now thinking of an Echo Hifi stem, 115mm with a 10 degree rise maybe some spacing too with some zoo flat bars maybe.Haha cranks on the spec 1 are complete bullsh*t bent in a couple of weeks. Middleburns for the win Two of the rings on my original casette actually snapped doing big gaps!Back hub got destroyedStem snappedetc But anyway Hifi might be nice with it, for now I've chucked on a slightly longer, alot stronger onza stem with more rise that im finding quite nice.Looking for some new bars because frankly im scared of the originals especially holding after down gaps. I was looking at these Echo Bars on Tartyand I think they'd go well with the Hifi stem, not sure how much rise I'd want though.Im running drivetrain wise 22t middleburn pro on the front with ss 18t on the back, running through a derailer. Works well Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
