ScottCM Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Hey dude, glad to hear that you finally got your bars and stem. Sorry you buckled a wheel but at least saved some skin. Wheels should handle that kind of impact though. Thanks, LBS just got back with bad news, the rim has a bloody flat spot between the spokes and needs to be replaced Definately dont want the same rim, so any suggestions?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Flow ex wider than Arch. And slightly stronger.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 What difs does the rise in the stem make? Slightly more relaxed position on the bike, but if it's too high then you sacrifice climbing ability and potentially steering, due to your weight being higher up
cadenceblur Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 would't the rise also push your weight slightly backward as well?
Bizkit031 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Slightly more relaxed position on the bike, but if it's too high then you sacrifice climbing ability and potentially steering, due to your weight being higher up I have a 90mm stem now with 6degree rise,wanna try a 70mm but don't know if I should stay with the same rise or 0 degrees.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 would't the rise also push your weight slightly backward as well? Ja, just a tad. It'd also mean you're further back when out of the saddle...

If you're happy with the rise, you'll be fine with the same. It'll bring you slightly lower but slightly closer, so in the end pretty much the same from a comfort perspective. At least, that's what I think will happen.
RockCoach Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 If your steerer is not cut too short, you can still play with spacers to experiment with height adjustments.
