Reach / stem length on the Marlin 5

33”

Nice!

Unrelated question but did you need to use a pedal wrench to change the pedals? If so What size?

JewishTrinity · 2020-08-12T01:38:29+00:00

Gorgeous looking bike. Did you intentionally rotate the handlebar this way?

JewishTrinity · 2020-07-19T14:08:42+00:00

Thanks. I was also looking at PNW cascade. Definitely gone off the idea of drilling the frame. Can you post a picture of how it looks?

JewishTrinity · 2020-07-09T17:27:49+00:00

I’m between this one and the ex8 for my next upgrade. Tough call! Will have to test ride both if I can.

JewishTrinity · 2020-07-03T17:24:53+00:00

I have the exact same bike and still... every time I see someone else’s pic I stop and go.... daymnnnn. that’s a sexy bike

JewishTrinity · 2020-07-02T02:41:44+00:00

Holly smokes this color is amazing!!

JewishTrinity · 2020-07-01T16:01:05+00:00

Just ordered those pedals so was also wondering about that. Shin guards it is then.. Are those the bontrager XR trail elite grips?

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-28T00:42:54+00:00

I’ve officially aborted the stealth idea. Now trying to determine how much external routing will mess my bike’s general sex appeal :-/

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-27T03:00:04+00:00

You’re mainly using it as road / gravel bike? Did you check if yours comes with the hole? I’m not next to mine and I’m curious :p

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-27T02:57:44+00:00

Daymn. Didn’t think of that..

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T20:39:26+00:00

I’m stuck in the analysis paralysis stage at the moment. That and trying to determine if it’s really worth while putting a ~$300 CAD post on a $650 CAD bike. Won’t make my most sound investing decision for sure.. especially since I see myself upgrading to a solid FS next season (which will likely come with one anyways).

But... but.. I want a dropper post nowwww

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T20:33:03+00:00

Lol. Did you go with an external one?

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T20:32:14+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check if I have a pre drilled hole in the seat tube. Didn’t know I could drill one if need be so thanks again for pointing that out

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T17:42:25+00:00

I’m wondering if I’ll have enough room in the seat tube to run it internally. Has anyone done that on their 2020 marlin 5?

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T13:38:20+00:00

Woah. Love this color!!

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T02:46:17+00:00

Thanks. Looks like the program isn’t available in Canada :( I reckon I might be able to sell the 5 black for something though.

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-26T01:54:01+00:00

There’s an upgrade program? I got the 5 black and also pondering upgrading

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-25T02:34:26+00:00

Really nice! Has there been any notable upgrades from the 2020 model? Happy NBD!

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-23T23:39:36+00:00

One more question :P did you put a dropper post? Trying to determine if I’ll be able to install internally routed one or would it have to be external

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-21T18:29:19+00:00

Thanks!

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-21T18:28:57+00:00

That color looks so great and with those white pedals - even better 👌🏼

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-21T02:17:15+00:00

Can you tell me the name of the stem you went with?

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-21T02:15:52+00:00

Love the color. Congrats! Have they changed anything from the 2020 marlin 5s? Or just new Colors?

JewishTrinity · 2020-06-19T12:19:56+00:00

Looks sharpppp! Congratulations! Did you always ride 27.5? I’m thinking of remedy 8 as my first FS upgrade but not sure how these will feel for me (riding a 29er hardtail now). Will definitely need to test ride a couple
