I'm 191cm on an XL and it feels compact so I would imagine its going to feel very small for him. To me this bike feels smaller than the numbers suggest. My Rail 7 come with 40mm of spacers under the stem so you can get the bar quite high. The 130mm dropper post is far too short for taller...
My Rail 7 with Bontrager rims also makes this noise. I think it's from the way these rims are constructed - more info here:

It's usable with the Shimano adapter, Shimano rotor and MT5 caliper but the top edge of the front set of brake pads sit around 1mm too high in relation to the top of the rotor so it isn't ideal. I'm hoping using the Magura adapter and Magura rotor will sort it.
Yes that's what I was hoping to do but when I use the Shimano adapter with the Magura caliper the pads overhang the edge of rotor by quite a bit so the alignment isn't very good.
Hi,
I'm changing my rear brake on my Rail 7 to Magura MT5 from the original Shimano Deore 4 pot. Does anybody know what Magura adapter I would need? I'll be running a Magura 203mm Rotor.
Cheers,
Neil.
