 thanks. it gets to sit for a bit until the snow melts and i rebleed the brakes. and possibly a new higher stem

 i have somewhat the same stem../ why do you want an even higher one ? Eek

 i just like to try it out. i know i have decent gaps, but i cant jump very high. i have problems hopping up on 2 1/2 foot loading docks. on my old mod, i could get up onto a 4 foot electrical box no problem.

 hmm i think thats more technique.. with a higher stem the front wheel will sit lower when standing up.. ?

 but on my park bike, the bars sit about an inch higher and i can get up a 3 foot wall easy. talkin to alot of other guys, and they said a higher stem should help out. i figure $50 aint no big deal, and which ever one works better sell the other

 hmm thats strange indeed lol i dont ride street anymore on a street/park bike.. i only got my trials bike now for that.. so i really cant relate to that Wink
i had a no rise 120mm stem before i had the 25* x 135 i have now,, i really cant remember what difference it made.. i just adapted to it.. Redface

 you can see the spacers ive added in to raise up the bars. it helped in a couple ways, i had better balance (more centralized weight) and help with leverage on front wheel moves

 yeah.. well looking at my bike.. my bars are [pretty high too.. i didnt ride for almost 3 months now due to the winter.. shame on me Redface
