If smalls are longer Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk You should be more worried about whether the bike you have would still fit you in a year or 2...You're 14. You'll still be growing for a couple years. Considering that it makes more sense for you to have a medium than a small anyways. You have an awesome bike. Its fine for you. As is. Enjoy it.
Mada3400 Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 regardless of what a bike is designed to do, reach is reach, seat tube length is seat tube length, with the right cockpit parts you can have 2 completely different size bikes that are for completely different jobs with identical final cockpit dimensions itd be stupid, but its possible. so when comparing sizing of dh bike A to 160mm trail bike B, the numbers mean the same thing, and the best part is, (you have to assume that) they dont lie. Just ride your bike.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Thats a enduro bike your comparing to a downhillAnd you were considering swapping it for an enduro bike. So the comparison fits. Ride your bike.

Ride your bike.

Ride your bike.He'll just complain about that anyway. If I'd ever been lucky enough to have had a bike like an izimu when I was 14, I would just stfu and ride the hell out of it, not whine like a little girl. Sent from my Nokia 6310i
Grebel Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I'm picking up a common theme here, "Ride your bike".... The good thing is that all of the peeps giving the advice have probably as much experience pedalling a bike as what you have being on two feet so any normal person would be inclined to take the advice... My advice? Ride the bike.......
Mongooser Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 Will See how it handles on a singletrack,I dont want to be stuck with a bike thats to big and not enjoy riding
DJR Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Hi MongooserHow long have you had the bike? Some bikes just take time to get used to and once you do, they are forever great. Others feel easy from the word go, but then they never reach the same heights as the former.If you have ridden it for a short time only, I would persevere a bit longer. It might just be the geometry of your previous bike and your muscle memory and co-ordination that is so ingrained, that you need time to develop it again for the new bike.

Butterbean Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 going to ride it for 3 weeks more and see how it feels otherwise im already used to the bikeQuick question, who paid for your bike? If you, did you work for the money, or was it saved up pocket money? Just for interest sake.
Mongooser Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 Quick question, who paid for your bike? If you, did you work for the money, or was it saved up pocket money? Just for interest sakeI saved for the bike for over a year,So i paid for it
DJR Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I saved for the bike for over a year,So i paid for itIt's a pity there isn't a button for "GREAT RESPECT AND LIKE THIS VERY MUCH". That's what I think!
Muzzarati Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 What year Izimu do you have as they only made a short and long right up until 2012.
