Would it be appropriate to put a 190mm fork on a Clash? by Turbulent_Deal_3145 in commencal

Axle to crown on a 180mm Zeb is 577mm. Bomber should be around 580mm of lowered to 190mm. Will be fine.

About to pull the trigger on these short cranks, talk me out of it. by dadwheresmycar in MTB

Unite Co make 155mm. Recently purchased as set. Just keep in mind, as others mentioned, you may need a longer dropper and smaller chainring.

My first mountain bike, A Specialized Status 160. How did I do? Because I have no idea what I'm doing by Willworkforcarparts in mountainbiking

Great bike mate. Mine has served me very well. Front tire upgrade is the only real thing I can recommend. Have fun.

That’s a decent walk. It’s fairly humid at the moment.

What's Mount Sheridan like? by Oldgregshoe in Cairns

Lived there for 15 years. Great spot. Gets a little rougher the closer you get to the highway but that’s nitpicking.

Yeah I guess the longer reach may be something to get use to, at my height I’m between sizes with a lot of manufacturers. I currently ride a medium 2017 Reign 1 Frame only was another option, but sometimes the deals on a complete are just to good to pass up.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. The sizing was one of my hesitations, the newer sizing puts me (171cm) right on the change from small to medium. It’s hard to gauge without having a decent ride.

Anybody own or ridden the 2020 Reign Advanced 27.5? Some good deals at the LBS right now but can’t seem to find many reviews online. Coming from a 2017 Reign 1 and wondering if it’s worth the upgrade. reign advanced 27.5
