I don't get it. Which part of AMP's geo is more dialed than P series?

Both the HTA is round the same (depending on fork length). STA is neglige able since on a DJ, no one sits.

Wheelbases is same too.

The place where AMP losses out is on the CS length. P series is 10mm shorter!

The perks on AMP would be the ISCG5 tabs. But then on a DJ... Is that even needed?

First, check top tube length. Compare it to your current bike. And like Chamelion said, Yeti and Santa Cruz sizings are a bit different than Giant, Spez, etc.
Check the frame condition first before buying icon_rolleyes.gif
You sure you want 5.75 inch instead of 6.3 inch travel? tongue.gif

Too much travel is just good. U just need to rider faster and harder to utilize the remaining travel.

Too little travel = go harder spring. And became a slope-style rider in whistler

Assuming 120mm/160mm = 75% of travel used. The bottom out rbber feature takes 25% of the total travel?!


Added on December 8, 2011, 3:53 pmOr you're talking about the IFP?

I have around 12" travel in the rear and approx 10" travel upfront on my current rig. Using it all up will be a painful affair... LOL

Kekeke... Using 29er fork, but oni 26" wheels jek blush.gif

QUOTE(Proclaimer @ Dec 8 2011, 11:56 PM)
Technically speaking its the real deal. One full rotation of the crank for 26" is slower than a bike on 29". Put it simple 7th gear on a 29er feels like 5th gear on a 26" bike, lighter to pedal but same speed.

But i wonder why it is not catching up  hmm.gif

Gain ratio is different, but not that much different la. The difference is is aroung 2 tooth. That's why Shimano's 29er 9spd cassette is 12T~36T instead of the normal 11T~34T

Long wheelbase = Stable at speed but not that flickable. Also turning radius will be larger. Not suitable for tight trails.

Longer spokes vs Shorter spokes = Same sifu build the wheels with the same quality spoke, shorter spokes will flex less for hardcore usage. Hence flexier wheels.

Larger wheels = Longer chainstay. Comfort riding, but again, not that flickable.

Just my two cents on why 29er is still not readily adaptable for FR/DH. But in the AM category, it's gaining ground nowadays.
