I was wondering whats the longest stem anyones using on the Dj bike and mabey some pics of them. Thanks
Dj's w/ longer stems
- Thread starter Randomshot
- Start date
right now i'm running a 55mm reach Atomlab GI stem which i like.... but i also used a 70mm Race Face Diabolous stem. it really just comes down to preference... i feel like when my stem is longer it makes the bike feel a little more bmx race-ish (good manualing through rollers at speed, good speed jumping)...while a shorter stem makes the bike ride little more freestyle (boosting lips, 360s etc.)
most people run 45mm to 55mm bmx style stems. (22.2mm or 7/8" inch is bmx size clamping area while 25.4 and 31.8mm are mtb sizes.... be sure to check before you buy a new stem).

i agree 100 percent im looking at a frame that has actual top tube of 24.1 so that way i could run about a 50mm stem
the voodoo shango. i found it at closeout price for 170. and at this point i just want a frame that doesnt feel so cramped. what stem are you running thats 75? i only find a handful of longer stems that seem built enough for Djing
this says the Shango has a top tube of 585mm, which is 23.03" inches. not sure how that was measured.
