Stretch Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 WTF...greg rides a XXL frame and they still extending its length!
RocknRolla Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Watching this was very disjointed for me, recorded the live event, only for it to be cut off after gregs run, then maintain online silence till i could not take it anymore and saw on Twitter that greg took it.Watched loics run this morning, and tbh, i think he could have taken it by a ballhair, or maybe not. Anyway, Greg's run was so smooth, but that's just how he rolls.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 WTF...greg rides a XXL frame and they still extending its length!Extended the linkage so the effective chainstay length is longer to offset the xxl frame size. But yes. Xxl. He's 6ft3. Puts it into perspective, no? Edit... And that section on Rat... "Ay-up, it's in! Ya did it! Fookin 'ell!"

Headshot Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 GM's XXL is part of the reason I have just bought an XL frame. That and some other stuff that sounds plausible about how we mostly ride bikes that are a bit small for us...
Stretch Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 what a shot http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12417223/p5pb12417223.jpg

Headshot Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Yup. Longer reach and such. What frame you get, Tim? XL S works Enduro 26 er frame
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 XL S works Enduro 26 er frameAwesome. One that was hanging in Bridge? Mada3400 got one as well. SUPER long in the reach, but a good ETT as well. SUPER short chainstays - you're gonna have fun on that one Just make sure your steerer is long enough!
Headshot Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Yep, same one. My steerer is only 3 cm off stock so all good...
