Frosty Posted April 17, 2015 Share I notice the comment about an improved, straighter, chain line. I'm not an expert on this subject but surely a spacer would partially resolve this? The freehub body is the same size for 8/9/10 speed and the cassette has thinner rings on 10 vs 8 & 9.Or, does adding a spacer push the crank and pedal further right compared to the non-drive side and therefore affect something else I have no idea about. #justasking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted April 17, 2015 Share Or, does adding a spacer push the crank and pedal further right compared to the non-drive side and therefore affect something else I have no idea about. #justasking The problem is not right, it's left. On most setups, the chainring is too far right. Edit: Oops, said "crank" instead of "chainring". Edited April 17, 2015 by Martin Hattingh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana Posted April 17, 2015 Share This is a great looking bike, and the fact that it can take up to 130mm travel fork makes it very versatile as well. The "two bottles in front triangle" is more important to marathon riders than what most manufacturers think, and it will definitely boost the sales of this model. Scott, Momsen and the other popular marathon brands will have to catch up in this department.  Now we just need to wait for the armchair experts to say that this bike is a Niner copy, it is Friday after all.

GoLefty!! Posted April 17, 2015 Share Plus 5 is the same conceptually as Cannondale offset of 6mm. Great idea but you can't patent something that was done before you. Admittedly the new scalpel has not been launched yet so this is the first full susser with an offset rear triangle. Â Now the the important thing is when and how much?

awesme Posted April 17, 2015 Share The when... not to long, the how much, don't ask, just do I know both answers but not sure I can share. G Plus 5 is the same conceptually as Cannondale offset of 6mm.

Edgar Posted April 17, 2015 Share Frameset should retail around 35k, so in the same range as the Swift.  Might be time to upgrade the Spaz to real bike. heini and awesme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
