Anybody got a dropper on a medium Nucleus 275?

Got a Nucleus ordered for my boy and a 120mm drop Brand x Ascend but wondering if I should've gone for the 150mm drop.

I've got a 120mm dropper on mine, but could probably get a 150mm on. Can't say that thought is keeping me awake though. For a cheapy alu frame I love mine, hope your lad does.

I’ve got a sentier in 27.5” wheelsize and a medium frame. I’d assume they are reasonably similar geometry. I’m 5’9 with a 32” inside leg and got a 150mm dropper on it. I haven’t had to slam the dropper right down in the frame either - there’s probably an inch or 2 of dropper below the collar out of the frame l.

Cheers guys! He's only 5'6"ish at the moment so should be okay with the 120mm.

Yeah, stick with the 120 I reckon. You'll get a decent price for it if you sell it on later to get a longer one.

Is he still growing?

At 5’6 I’d stick with the 120mm dropper for sure. That’ll be plenty.

Hope so, he's only 13! 🙂
