hey man i am wondering should i get a 24" sub with 26" wheels or a 26"sub with 26" wheels. how does your feel? and is it bad to run 26's on a 24" frame? thanks man
running 26es on a 24" sub gives you a higher bb (almost as high as dob) and shorter tt (great for street and park, it's 21.8"). if you want an all round frame and not a 21.8" top tube, go with the 26 - it has a neutral bb height (not as tall as dob, not as low as black market) and a 22.6" top tube.
yeah i am just going to be doing street really so i think i should get the 24" frame. did you have any problems with it? like do the 26's fit on it ok?
if you're under 5' 11" (182 cm) tall, it'd be worth it. yes it's easier to spin and stuff, and the chainstays are shorter than on the 26" version. if you're taller than 180 cm though, i'd be willing to be it would be too cramped. in fact, i'm 175 cm and i sometimes find it a little too short when i go ride longer distances (but nothing i can't suck up!).
yes, it ride very much like a size short dobermann. tiny differences though: a slightly lower bottom bracket (but still higher than most 26" frames), a slightly longer top tube (21.8" vs. 21.5"), and a slightly steeper head angle (70 deg. with an 80mm fork, vs. 69 deg. with an 80mm fork for the dobermann).
She is in transit right now somewhere between the UK and Ontario. I am guessing another week or two for the frame (it still has to go to my distributor first). I have most of my parts together, but I still need the wheels to arrive and be built as well. So I will be riding it in under a month. It's a slow process, but it will be a sexy bike when complete. Probably around the same weight as yours when I'm done. Cheers!!
i am currently running 2.1" small block eights, check the rest of my album to see the fit. i'm going to be running 2.3" 09 specialized rhythm lites though.
and outlaws are bomb, they don't have to be temp. wheels. just relace the back rim to a lighter hub later on if you want, because the back hub is heavy!
Ya i kinda tried that too but in the end suspension is so much more fun haha but great for a back up i seem to have bad luck with forks. ohh but it does make you a lot smoother too.
what? the frame? because of the tire clearance issues, i am now able to run a shorter chainstay on the majesty, so not hugely. the 09 suburban 24 has much better clearance though.
using the same chain and drivetrain going from this to the maj, it was at the end of the dropouts for both frames (and was the setting that gave me 2-3mm height clearance on the suburban 24).
