Yetiman Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Curious of others opinions on what angle/position to rotate your bars?I have tried several positions and still feel a little uncomfortable when balancing off a drop (front wheel below back wheel).Wondering if it is more to do with the stem angle and length.I have low rise Echo bars, 15deg 130mm stemCan't find much info in the search area... hope you guys and gals can help.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) Yer, I have the echo team stem with echo tough bars and its so low. Maybe you just need practice and then you will gain confidence ~Matty Edited March 25, 2007 by Matt-y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um....tasty Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 It's whatever you like but for street you normally have the bars slightly back and for natty you have them more forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Because I ride a short frame I have put my bars as far forward as possible to gain more reach... thus doing larger gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetiman Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks for the replies.I had a bit of a play trying different angles tonight and have found it a lot better at a slightly 'flatter' angle. Nilly have the right compromise now I think.Cheers....ps: remind me not to drive my left knee into my bars......it is one lot of character building I could do without all part of the fun. Made me determined to pull of the move though.... got there eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
