Stay seated, and the nomad is "ok" in the granny. Standup, and its a slingshot with every stroke.
I just went from a Nomad to a Reign X.What about the ReignX? Any Granny Bob with it? I'm down to a couple frames and the ReignX and Nomad are toward the top of the list.
5'10 and I ride a medium with a thomson set-back seatpost. (there is a picture a few pages back)Thanks for the suggestions Banshee Rider, What size reign X do you ride? I'm 6'1" and my xc bike is a L/19" and my DH bike is a M/L.
50mm, I'm willing to deal with a sore lower back for the dh handling.What is the length of the stem that you guys are running?
I run a 45mm stem on my Enduro. The shorter the better.
I had a 60mm stem on the Enduro I found by back hurt more and the handling sucked. At 45mm I've adapted and it feels great.Seriously?????????? I run a longer stem on my DH bike (55mm) and am significantly shorter than you. I think you might find a better 'fit' with a bit more stem length (the pic you posted on your DH bike looks really uncomfortable/too small) but it is certainly your decision.
roughly 40 and change, have not had it on a scale though.How much does you Bottlerocket weigh?
omg i am in looovvvveeeeeeOne of these has not made it on here yet.....
Man oh man, that is a beauty!!One of these has not made it on here yet.....
I'm with Lee. I'm 6'2", and I don't own a bike w/ a longer than 50mm stem. I've gone on long rides and raced a 24 hr on them. It's more about having a long enough top tube than stretching yourself over the front axle.On a dedicated DJ or 4X or mini DH bike, I can see 50mm or so, but on a true trailbike (multi-hour rides, long granny-gear climbs, etc) something in the 70ish mm seems more appropriate/common.
Ya i'm 6'7". I run a 50mm on both the trail bike and the DH bike. Oh well, someday I'll a custom frame :'(I'm with Lee. I'm 6'2", and I don't own a bike w/ a longer than 50mm stem.
