If you didn't say anything I wouldn't have checked. if i want to get the same frame(not that i ever will) in an actual Large I need to opt for their XL. Now I have reason to get a new frame

Yup I did. couldn't understand why i had to ride with a fully extended 400mm post and it was just long enough. the XL frame of the same model is only 530mm

one was a rav-x and the other was a ryder. cheap ones but thats all I could afford at the time. sorted my core out already and worked on my technique. my bike just doesnt like me, put too much strain on it

Wow okay, the seat tube length on my frame is 483mm, just compared it to another 19" that measures at 520mm.

Its a KHS Alite 1000. Not too fond of the frame but thats all I have

Completely comfortable on the frame. maybe a 20" will be better. i dont want to go too big otherwise cycling wont be a nice experience.

Stem is 110mm, still the original one i got with the bike. My in seam is 88cm, if that will make any difference to the frame size I should go with.

I'm 1.84m tall and riding a 19" hardtail mtb. riding with a 400mm seat post fully extended to its limit. When I bought the bike the sales person said a Large frame will suit me perfectly. I'm on my 2nd seat post thats bent, other than that the bike is perfect for me. Should I go for an XL frame, which will have advantages and disadvantages for my length or should I keep on buying seat posts?

And its only my pinky that stays numb. Will have it checked out, I think this comes from a hockey incident a few years back. Thanx

I have back problems so it might be part of my numbness. I have always had a bit of a problem with my left hand, feels awkward lifting it above my head, etc.

Hi Everytime I go riding my left hand goes numb. I thought it might be the fact that I hold on too tight with it because it is my dominating hand but its not that. At the moment my ring finger and pinkie is still numb after a ride that ended about 16 hours ago. I have altered the height of the handlebar and the width. What can cause this?
