First trials bike

[cp101]

Howdy, I bought a Zebdi mk5 from my buddy, because I wanted to start Trials. Seeing as my resources are almost exhausted ( I have other things to pay for, you see ;P ) from purchasing components, I've got a few things to take care of left.

The stem deal.

I'm 6', and the Zebdi is a relatively short frame for trials, right? What length stem would be suitable, but not complete overkill in terms of balancing the bike out?

Thanks guys.

well... what size is your frame??? I dont know much about planet X bikes...

15.5", 74 degree tube, 1015 wheelbase ( short! )

personally i'd go for a ~110x5 stem.

I was thinking that actually, 105-110 or so.

should I add risers, or keep it the same height?

btw, the fork is an echo urban fork.

if you've got enough room on the steerer then have a play with a cm riser or so. if you don't like it then either put it on the top of the stem or cut a bit more off the steerer. nothing to lose.

personally i wouldn't have any risers though.

Ah, thanks a lot man.

I think it mostly is personal prefrence... what ever feels the most comfortable should be good for you..
