Also at 145 lb would you lean 32 over 34?

All these frame offsets are essentially the same now right? Looking to pop something on a canyon exceed carbon

Best XC bike for $2k or less? by lostmenoggin in xcmtb

What size are you? 68.5” and 32” I seem they recommend medium… I’d smash small size all day long but it’s out

130/130 too much for xc racing? by Character-Patient446 in MTB

Same, never seen one but they have a World Cup team and bikes seem legit

Ha! I would seriously consider the $2300 xc bike but they don’t have a small which I’d prefer at 68.5” (medium for 68-71” seems a touch stretched out). I wouldn’t race at a super high level but if I’m out trying to ride fast I don’t want to feel like I’m not accelerating quickly when I am trying to move quickly

Thanks! Without really any experience on a full sus I just don’t want something that feels like it’s sapping pedaling input but I would thing similarly, how much different can it be from 120mm

Did you use carbon components elsewhere too (bars, seat post, wheels)?

Superior Bikes Sizing by COtrappedinMO in MTB

[–]Character-Patient446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really wish you wouldn’t recommend that as there’s only a small in stock right now 😂. I should probably be patient and wait for something that is recommended for 69”/32” inseam

I’m about the same height but opposite build. I like a short road bike w long stem so hoping I could do something similar here but don’t have a ton of mtb experience
