  • Thanks, your bike is quite similar to what I'm aiming for actually. Looks ace.

    Can I ask what your chainstay lngrh (centre to centre) is when you have the sliders set to accept 650b X 2.0? And how heavily shaped are your chainstays?

  • Theres not a particular length that works with 650b 2.0. In that pic theyre at their longest setting, 435 with 700x40c WTB nano. Mostly for mud clearance. When I mocked up the 650b wheel I could have moved them forward a bit but would only eat into the mud clearance.

    Mines slightly different as I have a relatively slack 72.5 ST angle. Id recommend going steeper and using a layback post. Hasnt affected its use bit would be nicer having a little more mud clearance.

    I'll try get a proper pic of the chainstays but heres a muddy DBAD shot

  • Thank you, all good to know.

    I have also been reminded that a salsa Vaya meets some of my criteria so will have a look at that geo too...
