Just the wheels/tires drops it down to 20.2. Should be under 19 after everything else is swapped. |
So you went from a full suspension 29er to a hardtail 26er. How come?

Yes, the hood is not latched. I don't need to hear it. Nice V7 wheels, what are the current mods and or plans for it? I have an 02 with a few mods. -Clayton |
Currently it has a Tanabe cat-back system, COBB intake, and short throw shifter. Won't be long till it gets full turbo-back, COBB access port, t4, STi intercooler, and a 40shot Zex kit.

I was thinking about the Alma 29er, but rode a couple friends 29ers for a few weeks and even though I really like some things about them, I absolutely hated them for downhills and quick, techy riding. The rear wheel was the problem for me - I couldn't kick it around like I wanted to. I want to try a 69er for that reason :) |

Me? No I went 26 FS to 26 HT. Yeti ASR carbon to the Alma. Why? Because hardtails are faster for me.
