Gen Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 But need some advice.. which wheelset and do I go for 100mm or 120mm travel Fork?
Gen Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Aha I thought so. Just checking. . And another thing frame size, I am 1.69m and inner leg lenght is 77cm... yes I made the hubby measure it.. I dont want to end up with the wrong frame size.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 120mm Reba or Revelation. Nothing else. Truly perfect performance and no fuss setup. No CTD issues like the Fox equivalents have. RossW 1
CleatsnCleavage Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 you can still end up with the wrong frame size even after using height and inner leg length....Good luck! Awesome bike.
SwissVan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Can I like ask the inevitable question? What is the difference between the Zula 26" and 650 frames? Same or are there subtle differences?
patches Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 A few noticable differences around the head tube, machinig of pivot area on rear triangle. But beyond those there is no doubt a change in geometry to make it 27.5" specific (lowering of BB, etc). http://bc905dbd4937d931353a-16c6d58995f60c2b225c8e6c8e81c6d4.r52.cf1.rackcdn.com/zula-wallpaper-6.jpg http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/27-5-650b/843175d1383231626-who-making-27-5-650b-fs-xc-race-bike-2014-100-120mm-travel-no-more-zula-27.5.jpg http://bc905dbd4937d931353a-16c6d58995f60c2b225c8e6c8e81c6d4.r52.cf1.rackcdn.com/zula-wallpaper-8.jpg http://www.buycycle.co.za/images/detailed/9/I5K5652.jpg Spokey 1
SwissVan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Damn, and there I was hoping I could just change the wheels and call her an inbetweener...
Flowta Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Damn, and there I was hoping I could just change the wheels and call her an inbetweener... There have been people putting 650B wheels on the 26" frame.
Gen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 There have been people putting 650B wheels on the 26" frame. Yes my husband did that and he is very happy. BTW getting the 650b zula was the best cycling decision I every made.. the combination of the slightly bigger wheels, The frame geometry, the 120mm travel in front has taken my level of enjoyment sky high..I am most happy I am doing things with the bike that I would never have had the confidence to do with the Previous bike.. I am probably also going to break some bones because I may just get too windgat. Regarding frame size I got the small. We double checked all my measurements with Morewood before we got the frame. I have posted pics of her before but will again if anyone missed it.. MaXiMuM 1
