  • Had a search, couldn't find the answer. So ready for abuse when you tell me there's a thread dedicated to this. Here goes. Having no luck selling my equilibrium, so took my favourite wheels a719/xt hubs/ 32 paselas off the cross check banged them on the genesis. Awesome ride, just no room for mudguards due to caliper brakes, I'm considering getting a local frame builder to set the rear end up for disc brakes. Now I get to my point (eventually), I can't spend too much on a fork, so thinking of surly straggler, disc ready and all the mounts I need/want. Will the increase in a-c length (400 from 375) cause me severe problems?

  • It will make your bike feel slower to respond and you'll have to push your saddle a lots further forward, as well as the increase in bb height.
