Building a Cyclo Cross bike

Ag no Man!!  What is this "size 54" !? :(   I need a 56. 

 

This will be awesome. Wish it was my size. 

Good luck with the sale.  :thumbup:

 

For info...

 

Go look at the frame dims and geometry.  I also ride 56, but found the Niner 53 to be a perfect fit :-)

Has anyone tried the Specialised Armadillo 32mm on their Cx bike when riding tar.

 

Issues to convert to tubeless?

So got me this Fairdale Weekender CX frame which I'm going to building up.

 

Been playing with the idea of using a 650b wheelset to have a sort of monster cross bike. The only thing is that the rear fits a max of 38c, so don't know what that will equate to in 650b tyre? Maybe someone could shed some light on this for me. 

 

thanks

Dan... That is a bloody flipping amazing find!!

 

38c is more than enough

Thanks Monark, 

 

I know that 38c is perfect, rode 33c's on my GT type cx a couple years back and it was fine. But I just wanting something different.

 

Look how rad this Stinner is....

Bare in mind that with a 650b, the radius where the widest point of the tyre is will be be further back in the frame. This mean you should be able to put in a wider 650B tyre.

 

Best is to get hold of a mates wheel and fit it in and see. Those Crossmarks  on the Stinner are relatively skinny (well, compared to my usual MTB tyres).
