That size is probably spot on for your height. I'm 5'9 and at the lower end of the spectrum for that frame size.

@Dax has asked the question already but assuming all is correct regarding bike frame size have you had any formal MTB skills coaching? As silly as it sounds doing a "One on One" MTB skills session with a suitably qualified and experienced instructor will probably sort any issues that are...

As far as how long a RS Reverb will fit in a large frame there are too may variables to provide a useful answer to that one. If you don't yet have the bike I'd probably seek the advice of the Specialized dealer selling you the Kenevo to determine what alternative posts will fit and give you the...

I'm staying up on the mountain on Saturday and Sunday nights. I'll be taking the DH bike up there to shuttle the downhill trails on Saturday. I don't want to risk breaking the Kenevo prior to Sunday's ride.

Wow! As at now only 7 Spots out of 100 remain. It will be interesting to see the final % of participants on hire bikes compared to those who already own one. @Dewi if you can get this info from Matt can you post it up here.

Agree, with a bit of desperately needed rain over the next couple of days and temperatures in the high teens conditions this weekend couldn't be any better.

Anyone attending this ride who is intending to make a weekend of it?

A difficult question to answer. The length of dropper will depend on how much drop you need and how much post can fit inside the seat post tube without fouling on the pivot bolt. Bike Yoke Dropper posts have a shorter lower tube than most other brands and also come in 125mm,160mm and 185mm...

And no one has mentioned the Lotus. Too distracted by the bike :rolleyes:.

There's probably been some change to the Bluetooth stack of the phone that requires the trust relationship between devices to be renewed. My Nokia 8 just updated to Android Pie this week. I had some issues with the Bluetooth in the car that were fixed by un-pairing and re-pairing and thanks to...

Ouch, 25% is huge. I thought 5% here in Australia was bad enough. Looks to be true. Multiple articles located via a google search seem to confirm. This new tariff which is supposed to protect, will end up hurting both American consumers and American businesses.

And Stealth at the time didn't even have a bike in their range that could be legally used anywhere in Australia except on private property. People that buy pedal assist e-bikes (commuter, road, or mtb varieties) are not going to be buying these 40-50kg sudo electric motor bikes. I don't think...

Rims also have maximum pressure ratings that are often lower than the maximum pressure ratings of the tyres mounted to them. Remember to factor in the rim's maximum pressure rating when inflating the tyre thats mounted to it.

As a 7 year old my son was riding a Kona Shred 24 Hardtail. At 10 and a half he progressed to a Small 2016 Specialised Camber Comp 650b initially with a fixed seat post and later, once he was tall enough for it to fit, a 100mm Command Post IRCC Dropper. It wasn't until he was 12 and a half and...

+1 for the ShockWiz. Definitely worth hiring one if, for whatever reason, you are unable to own one yourself. I've used mine for both initial setups and fine tuning of air sprung forks such as RockShox Boxxer World Cup, Pike RCT3, Lyric RCT3, Reba, Sektor and Revelation models. The more user...
