Hi all, which one has better clearance?
Anybody has ridden both? Are they significantly different in handling?
Cheers
I've got an XLS and Mr TW has a Pickenflick. Looking at them both together, the Pickenflick has greater tyre clearance. as he is nearly a foot taller than me we have never ridden each others so I can't comment on the handling differences.
Pickenflick has more clearance. They're not hugely different in handling, the Pickenflick being a touch more stable and less racey. In terms of feel they're quite different from the BB backwards, the xls is stiffer to pedal input.
Couldn't get a 40c nano in the back of th XLS mainly due to sloppy clearance on then drive side dropout that meant the wheel moved slightly under power.
38c road tyres fine
Forks were fine.
38c Schwalbe CX tyres front & back on my XLS are fine, with plenty of clearance.
