macy`d Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 howdy. just wondering what you all think of the hight of your bike on the front because i like high front ends. i have a try-all stem 145mm by 25 degree and echo tough bars on a bt raven 7.0 and I'm thinking of getting some nice high rise bars like zoo or bt just because i think the higher it is the better it will be to tap and stuff. got any advise? cheers what do you think?

If you get riser bars, id suggest getting a lower rise stem to even them out.Taps are generally easier on high front end, but sidehops are easier with a low front end!Danny...

fyfey Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I thought I'd prefer a higher front-end. I've got the HiFi stem (130x15) and Zoo risers.I was originally running it with 2 10mm spacers as well, but now I've got rid of them and prefer it a bit lower. Just a bit of rise to compensate for the BB rise.Fyfey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtrials Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 just go which ever you feel is right.Like danny_cartledge taps are easier with a higher rise stem and sidhops with lower. I ride and adamant a1 with the high bb rise and i run zoo bars with a echo high rise stem which i really like. deffinately go with zoo bars as the rise is very low on the bars but feels right.

Ali C Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I like a fairly high front end, it makes the bike more flicky, easier to bunnyhop and generally lark about on..not sure if I entierly agree that a high front end is easier with taps though, I find a lower setup gan get the bigger hights. but a higher front is deffo more fun.
