Title: NS stems Help
Post by: oldschool rider on September 15, 2008, 11:24 PM

Ok I think i know where the measurment comes from but just want to make sure.

I want to upgrade my stem to something a little bit shorter, I currently have a Mirraco m3 and find it just a bit long I think it's 65mm (Measured fom centre of stem bolt to centre of Bars) I'm lookin at the Odyssey elementry v3, Profile h.i.p & Fly mosca any comments or suggestions on these stems ?

cheers.

Not sure,but most stems are 53-56mm reach? 65mm does seem a tad long.Want to see more of the UKBIKECO stem as it`s real short & looks interesting.





And I`d like to try a free one for the the plug!

There's quite a few out there around the 45mm range that would probably suit and if you get one with gyro tabs, that's one less piece of matal on yer bike...

Cheers G,
               Had a look at the Eastern quite nice but still prefer the Profile in polished to match their imperial sprocket that I just ordered. Well atleast I found my brake plate here and just ordered it so will be running front u brake soon, all I need now are my chrome rims and I think My ride should be pimped to my liking....... :smitten:
Changed my bars to my old trusted peregrine Q2's now painted white and changed rear brake to a Demolition Vulcan (Major stopping power) and with only about a month of work left it'll soon be time to get back on my bike more often.
