I've asked in the stack/Reach thread. But maybe folk here can help better.
Over the weekend I calculated my old 29er to have a stack of around 600mm.
I calculated my fatbike to have a stack of around 592mm.
I was climbing a sloopy snow covered trail that was mostly 10%, and maxed a few times at 18%, on Sunday. I found keeping the front end pressed Down hard enough to stay within the ridable compacted bit was tricky. But doable.
So I obviously started thinking of the New build. Checked the geo chart and Commencal quote a stack of 551mm. Which is like 4 or 5cm lower. Seems a massive difference. The Reach is pretty much the same for all 3 bikes. So they're pretty much the same size.
Am I missing something here?
