ogre Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) i'm buying a new stem soon, i've currently got a V!Z highrise stem and i wanted to try something lower+longer i like the look of the V!Z logic and echo team stem. whats the advantages of lower+longer stems then?ZOO! frame if that makes a difference Edited June 10, 2007 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 what i find on mod bikes is the higher the bb rise the more likely u need a higher rise stem. when i hat my zoo i used a zoo stem which is kinda like the monty stems. it felt pretty decent with that set up and riser bars. just find what best suits you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Im probably gonna be the only one who says stay with the stem youve got. or get like a tmaster which im pretty sure is the same anyway.Ive never been able to find advantages of short stems unless youre too short for your frame.

ogre Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 it's not the shortness, it's the angle i'm bothered about does it make keeping the front end up easier or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 it's not the shortness, it's the angle i'm bothered about does it make keeping the front end up easier or anything?I find lower stems easier on the back wheel.On tarty, they have adapted the images to overlay each other, so you can see the diference of each stem. The Try-All and Echo Team are the same height, but the Team is a bit longer, I have a long wheelbase so went for the Try-All with some 07 Adamant bars, these have to be the best upgrade I have done for the geometry of my bike. It is much nicer on the back wheel and I can turn whilst hopping on the spot now, and back-wheeling things is so much easier now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
