Follow the link below https://momsenbikes.com/product-category/st-r-st-f-frame-special/ #steelisreal #momsenbikes why not 130mm - 140mm
Odinson Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 why not 130mm - 140mm Because the bike still has the geometry of a 1997 XC bike.
Odinson Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Bliksem, that price is insane... You get what you pay for.
Meezo Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Because the bike still has the geometry of a 1997 XC bike. 140-150 should make it 67.5HA

Odinson Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 140-150 should make it 67.5HA With a 69° STA and sky-high BB. Good luck getting up any climbs or around corners.
RocknRolla Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 You get what you pay for. You had a bad experience?
IH8MUD Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Because the bike still has the geometry of a 1997 XC bike. You get what you pay for. With a 69° STA and sky-high BB. Good luck getting up any climbs or around corners. You sure are a well posted and well respected BikeHub member and contributor. But does it do any good to knock someone else's bike purchase about which they are clearly very stoked? Edited June 6, 2018 by IH8MUD Hairy 1
Meezo Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 With a 69° STA and sky-high BB. Good luck getting up any climbs or around corners. i'm not aaron gwin nor greg minnaar, but i get what you saying, sort of
Michael Allen Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Hi Gents Its new build time for me. Sold my SS and regretted it straight away. So this is my new 2018 29er Talon build. We all have our own preferences . I am so over chain tensors . What works best for me is just using a rear chain derailleur . I am not to worried about the weight . arendoog, IH8MUD and Kalahari Vegmot 3

Good luck getting up any climbs or around corners. Seat tube angle is actually 72.5 degreesHead tube angle is 69 degrees, which is pretty up to date with current trends for this type of bike.The BB drop is much lower than before and I find that it climbs and corners really well.The toptube is actually 7mm longer than than Spez Epic hardtail ( in L frame), the BB drop is 1mm lower and the HTA is 0.8 degrees slacker.It is obviously important to compare bikes of the same application type.What do you ride?No problem on our double black route, which is pretty steep.Super comfortable ride.
