Now, there I was yesterday, mounting ExiWolf 2.3" tires on my pretty much standard Focus Black Falls 29'er, when I realized that the tires are too big for it... damn' fucking shit.....
Anyway, I have been annoyed with it having a useless front suspension fork for some time now, and the geometry seems a bit wack as well.. So I started thinking about replacing the frame with a Surly Karate Monkey or something like that..
Are you people riding those things still happy with them?
I kind of expect that I'll be able to move the current parts from the Focus to the Karate Monkey without too much trouble.
It should work fine with a quickrelease on the rear wheel when running geared right?
I'm 5'11 and normally ride a 56cm frames road or track.. Based on google I guess I'll fit a 18" 29er frame?
Any other suggestions than a Karate Monkey?
