Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 For interest sake I ride a Large in all the models except the Wreckoning (big bike once built) which is a Medium. Once Craig and I have the Offerings on hand we can then know for sure if we must "downsize" or not given the slightly steeper head angle .... Feedback we're getting thus far from our FanatikBike counterparts ... looks like I may very well have to ride a Medium Offering with my existing buildkit setup. So stay tuned and let's see based on tangible facts.... Also, more importantly as it relates to the EVILs, we find arm length and inseam to be key factors for us when recommending frame size. One sits "IN" these bikes and not "ON" them. Brenton. We need to ride, again. The first and last time you got taken out too early, man.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 can you honestly see yourself on a large ? You a bit taller than me if memory serves. I’m 6ft .Bibi is the same height as you and I. I'm 1.8 dead (5f11) and from memory he was on equal eye height to me. No way I'd get a medium. Definitely large, and with the lower seat tubes sometimes an XL, if it has a suitably short ST (shorter than my current 480mm) I know I said a couple days ago that I'd be "fine" on a medium, but then I remembered that most mediums have an ETT of 600 - 620 or so, and that's just too short for me. Current is 640 and it's awesome with a 35mm stem. Pikey 1
Guest Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Brenton. We need to ride, again. The first and last time you got taken out too early, man. just waiting for the wind to die down and I'm gonna hit Helderberg trails again seeing as Jonkers is outa bounds to the public. So much for buying a year pass. I'm up for a rad session dude .... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

I am 1.78 on a Med and I have had to go with a 55mm stem (not ideal), and still I feel cramped. I think Evil should take their whole online sizing guide, and adjust by a whole size across the heights on their tables. Bizkit031 1

So much for buying a year pass. I'm up for a rad session dude ....Be careful on Helderberg at the moment, came across 2 Cobras (at least I think they were Cobras) in the space of 10km this afternoon. Kinda feeling paranoid riding on my own haha

Current is 640 and it's awesome with a 35mm stem. I plan on a 55 mm stem . Have tried mediums before and they always to short. I know this longer than the norm,but can’t see a med working for me . There size chart says 6ft at the bottom of the height range . I am 6ft on the dot . Must be a large for me am sure . Grease_Monkey 1

And I find it slightly small for me .

Grease_Monkey Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Where abouts?1st one: After you come down hurricane/purple rain you have to do porcupine climb - where porcupine climb meeets up with the main climb again. The bugger was chilling right in the middle of the single track - nearly went right over him. 2nd one: After you do highway 61 (coming down), you cross a little wooden bridge, then there is a right hander berm and a left turn, as you start climbing a little bit again you see a farm workers house on your left - the snake was busy crossing the trail as I rode towards it - as a hit the brakes my bach wheel skid and made a noise, the snake made a sharp u back into the bush. Full disclaimer, I don't know snakes at all - so I could be wrong about it being a cobra, I was told it could also be a mole snake - but they are apparently a bit fatter than the ones I saw. Pic of the first one attached... Edited October 4, 2018 by Grease_Monkey
