Anyone tried it? My Spitty is pretty banged up, and that seems like an intriguing way to get a very low enderpo bike.

Good thing that little rubber crank bootie was on there.

Or take a loot at the GT Force. My Sensor has a very low bb and both bike has gotten some great reviews. I really like my Sensor.

I would not want to change wheels size I hope and think the bike is designed around the 650b size.

My Spitfire's at 12.9" unsagged. A 26" wheel Bronson isn't going to be lower than that.

No, but it'll be about the same with 10mm more travel. 13" for a 150mm travel bike is pretty darn low - and I like low BB's.

Yeah guys that ride 24s have always put waterbottles in stupid places. That really shouldn't be a surprise.

 

[frorider]

That pic is photoshopped. No way that water bottle would be that clean.

Agreed, no way it can be real. Bottle is too clean, the crank with that alien magic material should not snapped like that.

 

[ritche]

or the clean bottle was placed after taking the pic.

On wheel sizes, sorry for O.T.

Any one here riding B-26? (not the bomber) on his DH or trail bike? (650b front, 26 rear).
(for those frames with no clearance in the rear for 650 b wheel).

How does it ride? Is it recommended?

Is it true you can compensate the offset of a 26" fork with 650B wheels by running 35-40 mm stem?

 

[saruti]

if you really think about it, it will probably better to ru a bigger wheel on the rear. and a smaller on front.
just saying ...

Yeah it's the same reason why bmx and 4x racers run a shorter crank on the side of their bike they pedal first on out of the gate.

hab, why don't you tell them about the draco

Yeah, I rode a 7.5" travel bike with a sub 13" BB for years.

and that was after i rode it for a few years.

165 cranks were still too long.

I managed to bend a first generation Saint crank arm on that bike.
