No surprise, the extra top and head tube length are much better. Being a newer frame it's designed for wider (700c) rubber, so will keep my eyes peeled for a suitable wheelset to swap back from 650b. I'd always wanted to remove the guards and ride more rough stuff, which never really happened, so determined to do this over the spring and summer. After a blast on the local bridleways it's clear more aggressive tread is needed. Pretty happy, great to finally have a frame that's a better fit.
Rear derailleur GS or SS ? What max size cog on the cassette ?
Have GS 5700 with 32t cassette / 42t NW ring and wondering if I can go a little bigger, like 34t-36t
