Hi all,
Having noticed that the bottom has dropped out of the used 26" wheel bike market I want to take advantage of this.
Can anyone suggest frames from a couple of years ago (last of the 26" all mountain/trail frames with these wheels).
I'd likex it to have about 5-6" travel, be slack as possible and fairly light if possible.
It's going to be paired with Fox 34 160mm 26" forks and my current 26 wheels. Ztr flow on hopes so I can go with any rear axle type.
Will be looking out on eBay and seeing if any shops have left over stock but am trying to remember what frames there were that fitted this description.
Suggestions please?
2013 specialized enduro
Nomad?
Prophet was quite ahead of its time geometry wise.
Enduro is a good shout. Not a fan of the prophet, will have a read about the nomad.
Thanks guys. Keep the suggestions coming of anyone has any
Probably a few 150mm frames that should easily take a 160mm fork. Pitch? basically a budget version of the Enduro. Trek Remedy, Giant Reign.
Transition Covert I think took a 160mm frame as standard?
Norco LT
I did similar as you OP...went with a Trek Remedy carbon 9.8 then stuck my Flow/Hope wheelset on and 26" Lyriks. Lyriks a bit heavy/overkill for my local riding so bought some 27.5 Pikes and stuck them on instead
A few suggestions:
Santa Cruz Mk2 Nomad c
Yeti SB66
Transition Covert
Orange Alpine/5
Mondraker Dune/Foxy
Intense Tracer 2
Liteville 301 (or 601!)
.... and so on...
Thanks for that. What year did the sb66 go 650b? Did they do a carbon one in 26" variety?
