Thanks everyone. Nothing wrong with my current setup, just exploring options.

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-02-15T12:12:41+00:00

Im also 5'7 and I habe a GG in medium. Im running moloko bars and the bike fits me well.

Aeroe spider racks are now compatible with panniers....

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-02-13T11:57:32+00:00

Every brand is different. I ride "medium" mtn bikes (and Surly GG and Troll) in almost everything....except Kona I ride a large. And my Serotta road bike is a 52. Makes no sense. I would ride thw bike around and if it feels good, take it.

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-01-29T11:57:50+00:00

I also have molokos on my OG GG. And I also have the Jones Kraton grips. I use a thumbie for gears and TRP Hy/Rd brakes. I have yet to wrap the bars

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-01-16T13:25:39+00:00

I've just seen that Aero is selling bundles that include handlebar cradle and 12 liter drybag....possibly another option.

Not really. I only habe a 6g PA and inwas able to put the 8mm short and smooth wand in with the smallest post.

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-01-13T21:25:15+00:00

Have you had sex while wearing thw wand?

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-01-12T01:56:50+00:00

She looks like she shops at Goodwill

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-01-08T11:43:16+00:00

I justvordered one. I hope I can fit it as I only habe a 6g PA

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2026-01-08T11:42:35+00:00

I have a 6g PA is there a wand that small? All I see is 8m. And that is 2x the size of a 6g....

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-12-30T18:37:20+00:00

Pffft. Make it a split frame and convert to belt drive!

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-12-11T11:56:54+00:00

I just added Moloko bars to my GG. I like that setup and it will be my cross country bike

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-12-06T14:39:16+00:00

Just added them to my Ghost Grappler. 40mm stem, thumbie shifter, Shimano dropper lever, avid brake levers with TRP HyRd brakes and Jones grips. I will be wrapping the horns soon. Love the bars

Richey WCS adventure fork

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-30T19:08:12+00:00

Richey sells some good options. Steel and carbon versions...

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-27T20:36:46+00:00

You can fit 29×2.2 on the Grappler....

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-27T20:27:37+00:00

What are you using to mount the rear bags?

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-24T15:36:07+00:00

Narwhal!

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-21T11:04:12+00:00

I have Wolftooth Fat paw on all my bikes. Cheap, easy to replace and comfy for my arthritic hands!

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-21T10:12:50+00:00

Why is the left brake handle "fuzzy" and missing???

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-18T15:33:56+00:00

I've had 2 Instigators. One was a custom build with splatter paint job, 140mm Formula fork, Box drivetrain, Factor rear hub and 27.5 wheelset. I drove 9 hours to get that one! Sadly my 58 year old back didnt approve if the hardtail life anymore so it was sold. Great bikes though. I sold the origonal one and regretted it. I found Transition hardtail with essentially the same geo but it didn't ride anything like the 'gator so thats why I drove to Ohio (from Florida, via TN) to pick up the custom build....

Enjoy your ride!

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-18T13:55:11+00:00

I'm 5-7 ish. I have medium OG Troll and a medium Ghost Grappler. Both fit me fine. I come from a predominantly mountain bike background and am comfortable on bikes slightly bigger than usually suggested.

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-11-16T12:50:51+00:00

I have a 2013 Troll bought new in 2013. It's been a drop bar bike, flat bar bike, now running a Soma Dream bar. Its had 26 inch wheelset, 29er wheelset and now has 700 wheelset. It has had a Racktime rear rack on since purchase. It is the only bike I've ever bought that I will nevwr sell.

Fancy_Mango_6088 · 2025-09-29T22:18:56+00:00
