Anyone 6ft 1 or there abouts riding an XL mega 650b? I treid the L and it felt to small.

No XL available to try...

I think your height is borderline L/XL...more a question of limb/torso proportions and style...

You may want to give the 29er a go if your that height...I'm running an XL 290.

Hello. New to Pinkbike. I'm thinking of buying a 2015 Nukeproof Mega AM 275, but unfortunately I have no where to test ride it. I am 5'10"ish (I keep shrinking at my age) and wanted to know if a medium or large would fit me better. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone have any experience with the 2016 Nukeproof Scout 27.5 Race bike? I'm looking at buying an aggressive-geometry hardtail and the Scout looks awesome.
if your after an Ali bike,have a look at a Dartmoor hornet,doesn't get anymore aggressive than that,

Man that Hornet is sick! Love the all-black that they have on their site. I am however in the US...do Euro companies ship here pretty easily? Or is it a hassle?

I'm currently thinking of getting the 2016 Commencal Meta HT

Would 170mm fork for a Mega 275 be too much? I think it would be too slack just as it it is with 65 degrees.

I have to decide if Pike or Lyrik is better for this frame

Who here rides a 2012 Nukeproof Mega, looks like it's got a relatively up to date geometry and I'm looking for a cheap(ish) way into more enduro/downhill riding?

Oh yes! My 2012 mega has put up with cwmcarn, bpw, caersws, black mountains, and just about every other Dh trail in the UK.
It loves it.
40' jumps included.
Way stronger than the newer frames too.

Sick riding and thanks for the feedback, will start trawling the buysell, I heard that the original shock wasn't great, what do you run or what do you know works well?

The monarch it comes with is meh......
It's not that bad if you do a bit of fettling with it.
If you open up the can and do a bit of volume adjustment, it becomes a different beast.
Still not quite as good as a coil shock but it takes the shit.


I see you ride the clump....
