Hey.

Anyone ride a Felt Compulsion? I'm looking at the '2' model.
Any thoughts on sizing as alot of the reviews mention that it has quite a short cockpit.

Any help appreciated.

Felt Redemption here, so different bike really, but same suspension design. In terms of size, i'm 6ft 3" and ride a 19.5" felt, which is plenty big enough for me, both in terms of leg length and reach.

I feel obliged to say I like the pic! If only we could have avatars, I'd pinch it.
Anyway, probably of not much help to the OP but I'm 6ft on a 19.5" Virtue 2. Nice bike, well, I like riding it. If the Compulsion is like the Virtue; just be sure to keep an eye on the linkage bolts, mine used to come lose for a past time until I cleaned all the bits well and got some loctite on them.

I just bought one. I am 6 foot three with a 36in inside leg so I got the biggest one available- 21.5. This size comes with a 100mm stem. I put a Thompson layback seatpost and a slightly taller riser bar on it. All seems well with the fit. I needed to tidy and shorten cables etc. Calipers were slightly out of alignment. As above, check pivot bolts and crank bolt, nothing serious. I have only taken it out in anger twice and ,apart from one or two scary moments when speed was too high for the situation, i have had an absolute rip. It seems to climb well albeit a bit slower than my hardtail. Point it down a bit and see how big your smile gets. I,m off to wales ASAP.
