Anyone with a Santa Cruz Chameleon? I've bought a 2nd hand '19 with 27.5" wheels, 140mm fox 34 forks and xtr/xt gears and brakes etx. Can't wait for it to arrive. Wondering about eventually changing over to 29 however not sure about effect on geometry, especially seattube angle. Any thoughts? It's a medium and I'm 5.10 but I'm expecting that with a 60/70mm stem it will be fine. Not necessarily ideal but a great bike and hardly the time to be quibbling over what bikes are for sale! Any advice for getting the most out of it/kit that really works well on the Chameleon? Cheers!
Yeah good point. I was on two trains of thought, the other being whether to try 27.5 on the back and 29 on the front and got mixed up re. the angle issue. Anyone tried that one out? Sounds like it could have some interesting benefits apart from the slacker seat tube.
