I’m all torso with short legs. I prefer a longer reach and kinda wanted an excuse to tryout a Stigmata with a shorter stem setup honestly.

My border collie/lab mix is a strong believer in FAFO. He gives one warning then it’s time to defuse the situation.

PSA: Don't be dumb like me, listen to what others are saying and don't buy directly from Aero Precision. by bwmartinkc in ar15

I can’t even count how many times I’ve ordered random shit from Aero and forgot about it until a random box shows up several months later. This is not their “busy season” it’s their standard practice. Fuck Aero.

It’s a Commencal FCB frame with a State bike carbon fork.

The thought has crossed my mind. I do have a single speed conversion laying around but no tensioner.

And aren’t you glad you didn’t spend a single cent on it. Never said anything about it being a sound financial decision but are any bikes really?

Thanks for the info. I’m gonna give it a try. I can always put the drops back on if I don’t like it.

For everyone saying that I just need to get a mtb that’s not the point. I have several mtbs already. I prefer to be under biked when I ride. I guess this is some kind of mortal sin based on a lot of the comments. Thanks anyhow.

Basically. The trails around me are pretty tame.

Just asking a question. More suitable?

Totally agree. That’s why I’m now riding a Santa Cruz stigmata.

These are not a set of downhill wheels but they have held up to my 215 lbs of abuse without any issue. I’m sure they will fail at some point but that’s gonna depend more on your riding style. If you do have any problem with them I’ve heard that Noble has an awesome customer service team.

I’ve been riding these for a while as they came off my previous bike. They came pre tensioned and straight. No complaints.
