Controltech One Stem 70 mm First Hand Review Negative 17 - Any Good?

Here is my review of the Controltech One Stem 70 mm with a negative 17mm drop.

[@xtianva5250]

Had to swap my -35 70mm to that same spec but with pro shimano brand. We have the same frame size and height. I must say it is pretty darn better than -35. Negated th aggressive angle with bottom headset adapter for tapered fork.

[@vincevlog9794]

-35 is too aggressive, -25 for me is too slack especially for trails. And also uncomfortable

Hello 180cm xl ram Scott - 17 70mm or 90mm -17 thanks

[@unlipedal1040]

[@ricardoatilano56]

ganda lods!

[@josegacitua1588]

que tal el cambio? uso una de 100mm -20° y estoy pensando en cambiarme a una de 70mm -17°

Hi, how about a 5’7” guy, Medium 29er. Stem would be the Control Tech 70mm -25?

[@vincevlog9794]

I think that would be ok. 70 mm isn't that long. You could get 50 mm negative 25.

[@cedricbucasas5131]

What is the size of your wheels sir?thank you.ride safe always

[@vincevlog9794]

29er sir.

[@dem3127]

hey sir? Is 90mm -25 stem good for medium rise handle bar?

[@vincevlog9794]

I have only tested it on flat bars with backsweeps

Hi Boss just saw this -17 video and also the -25 video of yours. I just Ordered a -25 stem. Pero Natatakot ako, kasi Ang Habol Ko ay looks ng Bike. Gusto ko sana ang negative stem ko pag kinabit sa Bike ay Flat siya tingnan Hindi yung naka Drop pababa o halata na pababa pag kinuhanan ng photo. Tanong lang Flat Ba Tingnan ang -25 stem pag ikinabit sa bike o naka bend talaga siya pababa? Thanks!

[@vincevlog9794]

masyado aggressive ang -25 sir, yung weight mo medyo sa front part nang bike na at nakakatakot pag technical trail. Para sa akin ang -17 ang balance, sa looks at aggressiveness. Yung merida ko pang trail kase sya.

[@happyboy9484]

@@vincevlog9794 Yung -17 po Ba Pag Naka Kabit sa Bike, Flat/ neutral siya tingnan? Looks kasi habol ko especially gusto ko mag pic ng bike ko. Ang gusto ko yung Flat/neutral siya tingnan pag naka kabit, Ayoko yung halata na halata na naka yuko yung stem.

[@vincevlog9794]

@@happyboy9484 yes, ok lang sya, flat position na yung handlebar. Yung natry ko ang 90 -25. nakadrop sya masyado. Kaya nagpalit ako nang -17. Hindi masakit sa likod

[@happyboy9484]

@@vincevlog9794 ok po so to make it short if ilagay ang -17 stem, if titingnan siya sa bike flat/neutral siya tingnan at hindi naka drop tingnan? Ano po mas recommend po im planning to get the 90mm sa -17, or ill go with 70 or 80?

[@happyboy9484]

Thanks po sana po masagot niya final 2 questions para maka pag checkout napo ako🙂

Sir may I know what is your height and your frame size, so that I know what im gonna buy

[@vincevlog9794]

5'6 merida small 15 frame 29er

[@LifeIsGoooD123]

Malikot ang manebila ko pag gamit ko yan. Bakit kaya? Lalo na pag downhill

[@jubs5723]

San ka nakabili esi grips sir?

[@deanescobarjugo5632]

Im a 6ft in height. It is okah for me go use 70 mm stem? Thanks for response in advance.

[@vincevlog9794]

the stem length is based on your frame size. If your frame is a bit smaller, then a longer stem would improve geometry.

[@deanescobarjugo5632]

@@vincevlog9794 my frame is 29er and it indicates medium. I think that's a bit smaller for a 6ft guy like me. Probably i thingk 70mm should enough? Btw thanks for the info bro. Ridesafe

[@vincevlog9794]

@@deanescobarjugo5632 it's better sir if you could try the bike personally, probably 70 mm is fine or maybe it's still too short. For me, I choose the 70 mm because it fits my riding style and geometry, it is best for XC. I could go 90 mm for a more aggressive stance, but It would be a lot scarier on downhill trails. Especially, that your weight will be more on the front portion of the bike.
