I'm 6'5" and find mine to be very comfortable.
(large frame, not sure about exact size though.)
Drilling the rims took a couple of hours, and I don't know if it was worth it purely from a saving weight point of view (when the rest of the bike is so heavy) but I do like the look, and I felt a bit of a noob with undrilled rims.
IMHO.
I thought the TT length on these was v similar on all the sizes, I'd go 18" being 6ft2 for the standover, would that be wrong?
Standover is certainly an issue with fatbikes. If you're riding in soft snow, stop and put your feet down,your feet can sink into the snow a lot more than your tyres do!!
According to the on-one website the standover is the same for all sizes.
top tube length varies though.
Ah, that must have been it! :-[
I rode the ashnav's last weekend, and feel I am right on the size barrier (m - l).
33" inside leg, long arms and a habit of breaking seatposts due to my mass, makes me think the large might be better for me....
Other bikes are 18" & 19" hardtails, 90mm stems and lay back posts...
So for me, large frame, short stem, inline post = no breakages!!!
Just got to save up now ๐
Cider .....you know it makes sense .......get it done
Got a set of middleburns in the shed if you want a look Keith.
If it 's chainline with an uno your after it's 76mm. That's on the standard fat crank. There's a wider one out now which, as I understand it, is 10mm longer axle length.
I've asked Middleburn to confirm but they don't seem to be too great with emails.
Singlecrack - you'll see mine at next years BBB ๐
Perhaps we can have a Fat bike race at next years BBB ... ๐
Double post - oops!
What are these bikes weighing out of interest?
sak 49 that reminds me of the first run on my Mukluk, an easy shakedown run round the river loop near my house.
As I cruised along the trail on my enormous lime green wheels, thinking "I'm the only nichewhore in[i] this[/i] village" along came a guy the other way on a unicycle. ๐
Bedmaker...I dropped you an email
What BB are they for?
That would be great.
Cheers

Mine was 36 lbs when weighed on on proper bike scales its a 2x9 but I have dropped 300 g per wheel by fitting Specialized 2.3 -3.0 tubes thanks Singlecrack ๐ - and yes next year there will be a Fat Bike Challenge ๐
