It's about 8 inches to the very bottom end of the curve. I have a KS Lev Integra 125mm rise on mine and have it raised up about half an inch to fit my bike light and it's perfect imo. I'm 5'11 and have to tippy toe/half my foot standing straight up

Looking to get a hold of a TR250 to build a burly trail bike,

Can one of you guys measure the length of the seat tube for me?
From the top to the very bottom of the seattube - it´s to check the max insertion of a dropper - THANKS!

I had a tr250 when I was younger and I am starting to want one again. I'm looking for a size large frame. If you know anyone selling a frame let me know.

Hey guys I got my tr250 up for sale and want it to go to a good home. I know your not supposed to solicit your own ads on the forum but unfortunately car payments and the bike don’t agree.

Decided on restarting my cycling hobby after a long break in the army, exchange studies and what not. I serviced my bike and noticed that I need a new spring for my RC4, as I’ve gained 20kg or so since my last ride.

My question is, what springrate would you go for? I’m 100kg naked, ~110kg suited up. I’d perhaps prefer a slightly stiffer set-up than a squishy one.

Has anyone tried running a 27.5 wheel on a tr250? What did it change as far as ride quality?

A friend of mine recently did this. The obvious; better rollover on front wheel, raised bar height unless adjusted for, slacker HA;... everything you'd expect from pushing a bigger wheel in there. He never mentioned any negative effects when ran in the 'high' setting.

Great! That is what I was thinking so I am going to give it a go. Thanks for responding. I am actually running a 888 last model which can accommodate a 27.5 as well but will most likely get a newer single crown designed for 27.5. If you or anyone else has any additional information please let me know. Exited to try this.

Hey TR250 experts, is there a way to tell the difference between the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 TR250s? Looking at buying a black one and owner says 2013 but I'm not convinced

2013 models are easy to spot since they have unique two-coloured paint schemes.

2013

2013

On the contrary, if it looks like this, it’s older than 2013:

Good luck with your buy and enjoy! They are fun bikes.
