And like Chamelion said, Yeti and Santa Cruz sizings are a bit different than Giant, Spez, etc.http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/view_item.php?id=142352 Check the frame condition first before buying You sure you want 5.75 inch instead of 6.3 inch travel? |

Usually, for Freeride/DH, use slightly smaller. |

Hmmm thats a good price for the frame ...or is it too good to be true? or there s a catch to it http://www.bicyclebuysell.com/view_item.php?id=142352 QUOTE(Wyldemdd @ Dec 8 2011, 10:37 AM) Offcourse will be checking the frame 1st before buy.The bike frame is 17.5 and it's for rider height 160cm-171cm which is not suitable for me since i'm 178cm tall.Don't know much about the travel since i'm more on XC bike than trail/am/freeride/DH bike.Need opinion/advise from sifus here.The asr-7 looks great too. You can ask the Sifus here who are knowlagable about Trail/AM bikes ...some say too much travel no point if you dont exploit it ...some say its more fun ...but get one thats fit for purpose la ...u get an AM bike but if you just go to RRI or Rover trail only...rugi la ...By the way ...575 got the Lime color ek? The color actually looks odd but after awhile it grows on you...but with such colors its usually fad...after awhile looses its appeal.. |

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 |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Dec 8 2011, 11:11 AM) I'm currently using 16 inch which i suppose to use 18 inch.But just for XC ride.QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Dec 8 2011, 11:13 AM) Hmmm thats a good price for the frame ...or is it too good to be true? or there s a catch to it Maybe there's something wrong with the frame or it's just pure selling cheap.Well need to check to be sure.Offcourse when you got more travel you'll start to do more jump with it.Right now my bike only got 3 inch travel (96mm) which i don't dare to do excessive jump at all.You can ask the Sifus here who are knowlagable about Trail/AM bikes ...some say too much travel no point if you dont exploit it ...some say its more fun ...but get one thats fit for purpose la ...u get an AM bike but if you just go to RRI or Rover trail only...rugi la ... By the way ...575 got the Lime color ek? The color actually looks odd but after awhile it grows on you...but with such colors its usually fad...after awhile looses its appeal.. I'll go for the black or the lime colour.The pewter colour is ok too.Don't like the turqouise,looks weird This post has been edited by Wyldemdd: Dec 8 2011, 11:25 AM |
