But hmm, I really do not know what to do because I ride on a Large Nukeproof Scalp right now, and a lot people of the same height to me tell me it is too big, but I do not mind me more than that, I just arms super tense when I'm sitting on it ... But i like ride with this on the fast section, the bikes isn't moving, it's a rail, but in the lil turn section is more difficult,and in the area where I am, it's small track that turn many, rather than the big track with some fast section...

So I do not know if I stay on the Large Scalp, or I pass on the Large TR250, apparently small bikes ..

What advice to me? (I can't try the TR before buy...)

PS: Sorry for my english lol

you should go tubeless, i've found it doesn't save much weight but daaamn you get so much more grip

Hey, i have another question, this headset is good for this bike? (Just the bottom part, not the up) Because i'm afraid my pivot is too short with the original headset, the guy who had the fork before me cut at 14.5cm... http://www.probikeshop.com/en/gb/cane-creek-forty-semi-integrated-headset-1-1-8-zs49-black/80760.html

You need an 56mm cup for the bottom headset. You can get the internal cup ones to reduce stack height.

it depends on the year of the TR250, they changed it between 2012 and 2013, here is the chart:

http://www.transitionbikes.com/BlogImages/TBC%20Master%20Tracking%20-%20Headset%20Compatibility%20Spreadsheet.pdf

If you have a 2013, the lower is 56mm and you can zero stack a tapered steerer, any earlier and it's a 49mm bottom which means zero stack for a straight steerer or external cups for a tapered

As long as your fork has a straight 1 1/8' steerer, that cup won't fit a tapered 1.5" steerer
