But it's a 9" travel bike with a 13.5" bb height. You'll have 4.5" of clearance left. I have a little over an inch more than that with my Sunday but I don't think I've ever hit my bashguard due to bottoming.People are saying they are too low, not because of cranks length, or hitting your pedals. But because of driving your chainrings into the gound when you bottom out. Think about it, 10in travel bike, 12 bb height, that means, in theory anyways, that when bottomed out you have only 2in clearance to the ground, probably less. I sure dont want to be driving my drivetrain int o the dirt all the time.
