Not a hundred percent on what you mean... im not looking for a certain stem length or rise in particular, preferably short stem with low angle of rise? Or am i just being a newbie idiot again70\'sPenguin wrote:length and rise?0 -
you can usually get them in a range of lengths, although, most 1.5 stems are fairly short being aimed at the cool cats on FR/DH bikes

Cheers, that is perfect. Yeh its for my DH bike. Thanks mrmonkfinger!0 -
The length and rise of a stem effects the handling of the bike so you might want to read up a little bit and understand what you're buying and how it may affect your bike before you buy.0

yeh its pretty much same dimensions as my current one, so i'm happy, little smaller length so hopefully slightly better handling. Also its in red so it will go faster

It is a lot, but when you supply blow and hookers for a lifetime you can afford it0 -
Maybe I'm just cheap and nasty, or getting old (OK I'm all three), but I have three usable bikes lying around that combined cost less than one of those stems.I don't do smileys.

To do that you need to dump the Orange and get something nice then.MTB_TR wrote:its nice to have nice thingsI don't do smileys.
