i'm getting a new stem and these are my choices - Odyssey TDFL, Fiend Reynolds, Demolition Stealth V3, United Metro. which one do you think is the best
And pleeease help me with stem reach because I've no idea what difference it makes, and is it better when shorter or longer
Im about 5.9-5.10 inches tall with a 20.75 frame. bars are 8.7 tall if that matters
I ride street mostly + a little bit of park
thank you

Ok I would go demo or oddysey for sure and it just matters what you like if your not comfortable with your stem get a longer reaching one

8.7 bars are quite tall so I'd go with a TDFL, if you're in it for a TL go with a BF
I'm gonna need bigger bars

nope, im searching for a FL
and actally the reason im changing my stem is because 8.7 is too high for me haha
and changing my stem would be cheaper than changing my bars + these stems are pretty nice and are on sale on dans
And what size do you guys think I should get? I mean what will the difference be if I get a shorter one or longer one?

TDFL in 53mm. I loved mine. Looked so clean and was functional.
The Demolition would be my least favorite choice, super narrow clamping area. Always thought Demolition stems were designed poorly.

A shorter one will make your bike feel a little shorter, a longer one will give you more room and make your bike feel a little longer.
I love sketchy shit

yes and no. a bigger will give you more room for many tricks, but your bike will feel the same length when riding given that your headtube remains at the same position.
