depends on your reach. the top tube length on the large is a little longer on the large, 610mm to the mediums 585mm, making the wheelbase a little longer too. i find the reach just about right on the M but you might find it a little cramped. getting the L and an adjustable stem that you can bring back 5mm is a good compromise of youre unsure and cant ride one beforehand.

get the large if youre unsure. better to be a little stretched than cramped.

hi guys, anyony know the stroke length and eye to eye length of a 2011 myst, i presume it will be the same for later models but one cant be too sure. Also any info on the leverage ratio etc would be welcome Smile

its just not a very good headset unfortunatley. at least not for racing. its good enough for general riding, but the rigours of DH racing are more than it can handle and you will have to replace it, so spend another £15 and get an FSA or Nukeproof set instead.

yes, i know. the lower bearing race is 1.5 in diameter at its widest, but the inner is 1x1/8. take your bike to your LBS, I lack confidence in your ability to repair this on your own.
