Some cable rub and stone chips. No rear end play. DHX 4.0 shock, FSA Pig headset and IRD inline post included.</p> <p><strong>On One Scandal frame (14"): £150 posted</strong><br /> Bought for my wife to see if an xc hardtail was for her. Apparently not. Lived most of its life in a turbo trainer, some very slight scratches on the underside of the down tube, otherwise as new.</p> <p><strong>Santa Cruz Heckler frame 2006 (S): £300 posted</strong><br /> Very well used, far from cosmetically perfect, but structually sound. Powder coating is bubbling and flaking in places, but no cracks, or serious damage. Mech hanger isn't completely straight, but didn't cause an issue with shifting. Only selling due to shiny new replacement.</p> <p><strong>24Seven DH/FR 135x12mm Rear, 20mm Front: £60 posted</strong><br /> Bought as seconds as 24Seven weren't happy with the quality of the powdercoating. 2 years on and they're still flipping bright.</p> <p><strong>Sun Singletrack Rims on Deore rear, Kona 20mm front: £60 posted</strong><br /> Bearings are all good, few minor scratches from tyre fitting, all stickers removed. Solid pair of wheels.</p> <p><strong>WTB Laserdisc XC Rims on Deore QR, 6 bolt hubs: £70 posted</strong><br /> These have mainly been used in a rim driven turbo trainer, hence the wear to the sticker shown in the photo. Straight and true, light pair of wheels. Currently fitted with Nevegals/Blue Grooves, which can be included for extra.</p> <p><strong>RockShox Recon 335 UTurn QR: £120 posted</strong><br /> Marks to the lowers from being on a bike rack, but stanchions are perfect.

Recently serviced by TFT.</p> <p><strong>Manitou Nixon Super Plus SPV Evolve 2005: £90 posted</strong><br /> 145mm travel, air sprung, some scratches on the lowers and a bit of cable rub on the crown, but the stanchions are perfect.

If they were the same height I'd be doing the shopping. IMO long arms work great with short, low bikes as you get reach in a different way which gives much better ability to work as suspension and more weight on the front wheel. Stretching forward instead of down would ruin the sort of handling that I happen to like.</p> <p>On the road I have a longer reach but still low bars because I'm not going shopping then either. The bars on the toured were higher, though, nearly level with the saddle. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/should-a-saddle-be-inline-with-the-height-of-the-bars-tall-person-thing#post-2432576 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 16:26:43 +0000 PJay 2432576@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>There seem to be lots of ideas and theories around ride positioning. If you're a racer or competitive athlete looking for optimum performance/efficiency there might be something in them. As a general pootler about I tend to go with comfort and what feels right. My bars are currently a couple of inches lower than my saddle (I'm 6') and that feels fine. Saddle heightwise, I like a slight bend in the knee (I've heard 20 degrees mentioned) at the bottom of the stroke with my foot level (this tends to equate to another 'rule of thumb' which gives me a straight leg with my heel on the pedal at full extension). This feels comfy and gives a little bit of natural lift out of the saddle when I'm cranking hard with a flexed ankle. If my saddle's too high, irrespective of anything else, I get pains in my sit-bones. Saddle fore and aft and angle positioning can make a lot of difference to comfort too.</p> <p><img src="http://www.davis.ndo.co.uk/bike/sirius_wells.jpg"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/should-a-saddle-be-inline-with-the-height-of-the-bars-tall-person-thing#post-2432326 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:20:02 +0000 CaptainMainwaring 2432326@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>Your height is not much of a gauge though - You can be the same height but have long or short arms and/or legs - this affects your riding position a lot.</blockquote></p> <p>Exactly. That's why IMO if you get the saddle height and forward/back position correct for best pedalling you can work out what fits from there, depending on personal preference. </p> <p>And the point about the 107%. When you're cycling you have the balls of your feet on the pedal, so you gain the extra length and power from flexing the ankle. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/should-a-saddle-be-inline-with-the-height-of-the-bars-tall-person-thing#post-2432228 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:52:14 +0000 molgrips 2432228@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>I thought alot of it was frame geometry and design too</blockquote></p> <p>Quite possibly.
