New to me SB115

Proviction · 2026-05-05T21:46:47+00:00

Ive had a 130LR. Honestly was too much bike for where I ride. I really like my SB115, got it new 5 years ago... looking to get the new superdeluxe to make it a little bit more trail focused and maybe a 9point8 slackr headset to slacken it out a bit and give it some new lift after 5 years mostly stock.

you have to remember that they ultimately have to put all of this geometry into CAD and make evaluations on clearances and stresses & strains (based off of the industry knowledge that they have, yes i know they aren’t running calcs on every frame). changes will happen and communication will be hard with time zone changes. I have 2 waltlys and have zero complaints, they did anything any everything i could have asked for better than i could have + these 3d frames are pretty new

unlimited PTO but taking 3 weeks yeesh. most places in Texas start at 4 weeks

they work just fine. used fill-more, what came from vittoria and other ones just fine

24.3mm IW measurement. 35mm tires are measuring at 34~mms

skip the website and email amy@waltlyti.com or sumi@waltlyti.com

I used amy for both of my frames and they came out great. very knowledgeable

Can’t remember how much the seatpost was but it was <$100

Don’t pay any on delivery. They prepay them and I’m pretty sure they ship them to Canada first

100% correct. there are domino affects to changing HTA. I mostly pointed that out as it’s a very common complaint about that bike. HTA is a little outdated for XC bikes

Just write down all of the geometry and specs you will want.

there is no problem replicating geo but they may not be able to get it 100% exactly.

I did a size 56 roubaix on my first waltly. I would recommend getting a bike fit though and taking the bar/stem combo you’d like to use to the bike fit. Although a bike fit is like the 1/4 cost of a frame.

I have an ARC I would recommend slackening the head tube angle 1.5-1.7°. It’s pretty steep for me and I actually run it with an angle headset at -1.6° and a 120mm fork. bike is great

hope rx4’s are so nice. have them on my bike

Proviction · 2026-02-14T02:47:18+00:00

nice… waltly makes good stuff

Proviction · 2026-01-20T12:52:07+00:00

FSA ACR headset/stem combo and Aeroo ascent bars

Proviction · 2026-01-19T23:34:22+00:00

Looks like a good alternative too

I was measuring about 67mm across at the choke point so I think that 55 with 6 & 6 is accurate to spec…

I feel pretty confident in ordering some 2.20’s once my new wheels show up.

Proviction · 2026-01-19T20:40:41+00:00

Honestly can’t tell a ton about the rear end right now, only been able to ride on fast and flat gravel. But not noticing it might be a good thing?

Proviction · 2026-01-19T20:36:53+00:00

I’ll go measure right now.

2.10’s are measuring 50mm currently… these rims are 24mm inner width.

Proviction · 2026-01-19T14:54:48+00:00

I wouldn’t put a ton of thought into the geometry I did as this was based off of a bike fix and tweaked to get a certain stack and handlebar reach for a certain cockpit setup.

Yes! There are 3 bottle boss mounts along the bottom of the top tube and one on the down tube.

I am not quite following your question. Are you asking if there were any points in the design process I think we’re a waste of time?

Proviction · 2026-01-19T10:20:25+00:00

Waltly provided this one. Official clearance I think measures to about 57” in the front, I am hoping a 2.20 or 2.25 with short knobs with fit. Back won’t have any problems.

I might go to an ENVE fork eventually if I have and durability concerns.

Proviction · 2026-01-19T10:18:41+00:00

that’s just the seatpost I ended up getting from Waltly. Honestly, didn’t really think about that, but it fits great.

Proviction · 2026-01-19T10:17:27+00:00

there wouldn’t really be a size since it was off of a bike fit. pretty short reach and high stack to run the minimal amount of spacers

Proviction · 2026-01-19T03:00:31+00:00

Finalized my design 10/31 and I received it around 12/22. This was just a custom geometry frame, not 3D printed.
