So im ordering my gemini DH next week and Im worried about sizing. Im about 5,8-5,9 and last year I rode a M gemini. Since the DH has a longer TT im wondering If id be better suited on a small? Is the Medium the way to go for me?

thanks

I dono i think mine is 23in and the DH is 24 I dono if an in. will be big deal but thats a lot of bills to spend on the wrong size.

I jumped on a large and it was the right size for me. I'm 5'9" the bike has a 50mm stem....D

I like the way my large feels to me but i'm 6ft 1. What length stem did you run on your old Gemini?

I had a 50mm thomson stem on there so is the medium more my size?

I noticed you had a diesel. How did it compare to the gemini that you were on? Did the 8in of travel on the diesel feel like significantly more then the geminis 7.1? Thats all im worried about is the gemini may be a little harsh cause I know at some times the 170mm on mine seemed a little rough.

GO MEDIUM. Everybody on our team got a frame too small by going by their measurements.

DH bike sizing by top tube is BS we need to start measuring DOWNTUBE (that's what you feel when riding!)

Medium it is. Hey neversummer. How did you like your boxxer WC on ur gemini. Did it match up well HA wise and such. Also did you ever notice so called "spiking" issues or reliabilty problems. Since Darren is supposadly pushing boxxer next year it sounds really tempting to get one over a fox.
