Just wondering what size everyone is riding? Could people tell me how tall and frame size please. Thanks in advance. Some real good deals going on trance 29er here in oz. Hanging out to throw a leg over one. Cheers everyone.

I’m 180 cms tall with 85cms inseam and ride a Large. Feels pretty good, the only thing I did was to cut the bars to 760 mm cause thats what I’m used to.

I ride a large too, the headtube is 110mms long, I have about 25mms of headset spacers under the the stem. I don't have access to my bike right now but I can meassure the steer tube on my fork and reply back later.

I just measured my Large Pro 29 2. Steer tube is roughly 180mm, and I also have 25 mm of spacers under the stem.

Keep in mind longer a longer fork will also slacken your seat tube and increase your virtual top tube length.

I increased fork travel from 160 to 180 on another bike and ended up changing the travel back down to stock because the longer fork made the seated reach long enough that the bike no longer fit properly.

i would definitely go with the large. I felt they ran fairly small compared to some. I'm 5'10 and the large was good but my last bikes were scott genius in large and it felt like a much bigger bike.

so does that mean you add 25mm to the 180 for the total length the tube needs to be or is 180mm the full length? thanks for the info!

180 full length. I mentioned the spacers because the head tube is pretty short on this bike. You could get away with a shorter steer tube,but you would probably end up with apehangers to make the bike fit. Ge the longest steer tube you can,you can always cut itSmile

We have similar measurements and I just ordered the small...how is the feel? Would a small be too tight for you?

Anyone have a 20 Trance 29 2?
Thinking of pulling the trigger, but not keen on the colour, super boring!
