You know I'm one of those people, so I'll assume you're just busting my balls on this one. I'd not buy a frame based on ST size along. 16" C-T size frame = 23" ETT on the 29er Inbred frames. https://www.on-one-shop.co.uk/?page_id=598

14-16" seat tube frames with 22-23" ETT make me happy. This one has the TT dropped about 3" down from the top of the ST as well for a very deeply sloped looked, which I like. The chainstays are a bit longer than I'd like, but for a first 29er frame, getting shorter and staying in the price range of the On-One frame would have been tough.

Not sure why so many companies still refer to frame sizing so much with the seat tube length, other than habit or tradition.

Not my video, but it shows one of the places I ride (plus some crashes). Get your own music for the first part. If you only have time for one part, I'd go for part 2, but part 1 is still really good. I dont think all of those wood structures are still there but some are.

That's my next planned change.

I was just saying that changing the FAQ to say that MTB'ers should buy a bike based on seat tube length doesn't fit everyone's needs. I used to buy based on seat tube length, but now I'm on the ETT thing.

I think both work...it just depends on the type of rider and what they're looking for, I guess. Maybe the less experienced people who really don't know what they want can be blanketed by seat tube size...I dunno. I do know that my '05 Komodo is an 18.5" and has a 23.5" TT and my '98 Komodo is a 19" and has a 22.5" TT. The smaller seat tube'd '05 feels less cramped and more comfy than the '98. I actually have to run a 40mm longer stem on the '98 to get it to feel somewhat right. (odd)

So...no, I'm not busting anyone's sack. Just saying that there are more things to consider.

I guess you can always adjust your stem length/height, bar width/height, and seatpost length, and saddle position to suit your fit.

The reason it needs to is the new sizing standard that Transition and Turner collaborated on forming.

Groovy...I wasn't aware.

He He Kinda reminds me of the "Red Ringer" position on steep climbs.

It's been in the teens and 20's for highs around here,wind chill around 0f.........but not this weekend. It gonna be about 55f on Friday and in the 60's Saturday and Sunday..........I'll be riding.

Do you guys get snow that lasts, '66? I hate it when we get these warm ups for a day or two, everything turns to absolute slop. I would much rather have it stay cold from Dec-March and only get warm when it's supposed to.

I'm jealous.

I get 95% constant cold weather. We do get a days here and there that are too warm. During the winter time I prefer it stays colder than 14F (-10C) as any warmer than that and stuff starts melting and the humidity and slush is no fun at all.

No, The freeze thaw is the only drawback to a warmup.......but I'll take it.

Picked up a Kenda Kinetic at my LBS. 2.35 and it was 20$ because the nobody could find a price tag. Will go up front. How are these tires?

Some like 'em, some don't. Depends on the terrain. What are you running in back paired with the Kinetic?

I'm a fan of the 2.6" version front and back, or up front with a 2.35" Nevegal in back.

I've been to lazy to swap my old front out back, so for now, I'm running an almost bald CST 2.0 tire. I'm going to switch to some WTB 2.1. Its a front tire, so it'll probably climb purdy crappy.

You go ahead and climb as crappy as you want. You'll still beat me to the top.

who blew up the jerk thread?

I believe some pink-pantied roadie got offended and reported it to a like-minded moderator.

No sense of humor.

I'm sure he/she has a sense of humor. It's just the sense of humor of a jerk.

Only jerks spell 'humour' incorrectly.

I missed it =[

I heard that the word "Canada" means "jerk" in Inuit.

Canada is over the US so we can fart on you. Apparently jerks enjoy it.

sounds like a jerk to me. He should have contributed to the thread
