Josh0 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Hi everyone, I need some opinions on the combination of my bike and a new stem....... Will this go with this? I am looking for a shorter stem, and all Dial'd Bikes'stems are out of stock. The above stem is a Spank Royala Timer stem from Rush Sports for R405. Bargain?

Madlight Posted October 10, 2013 Share you will need more gold bling to make it work... matching seatpost clamp etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00SE Posted October 10, 2013 Share The stem would work, Colour doesn't suit the bike really. Go with black, or if you want a bit of bling, red might look cool.Just remember if you go with a shorter stem, you might have to adjust the saddle position.

patches Posted October 10, 2013 Share I hope you're adding wider bars to that shorter stem?! Andro and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted October 10, 2013 Share Will work if you add some more gold accents: chainring bolts, seatpost clamp, etc. Gold stem on its own wouldn't do it for me. Madlight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted October 10, 2013 Share Bull dust. Bwahahaha ...... Like you I assume, I always understood saddle position to be related only to leg extension at bottom of pedal stroke and knee pedal orientation?

Wyatt Earp Posted October 10, 2013 Share At least NSBB can add some value as to why my statement is "bull dust"You as usual adding no value.. Quite simple, the saddle position and height has nothing to do with the reach, also the length of the stem is not always in relation to reach, but sometimes to do with how quick or slow the rider wants his bike to respond when he turns the bar. It grates my short and curlys when people dish out poor advice as you did. Hairy and niterider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
