Hi,
First post and I'm after some help as per the title!
I'm 6'4" and really unsure if i would be better off with a 20" or 22" five. I currently run a surly instigator in a 20" with a lot of post and a 61cm allez road bike, again with a lot of post.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
I'm a bit taller than you at 6'5" and ride a 20" (don't think there was a 22" when I bought mine). It seemed small when I first started riding it but got used to it and now really like the short reach, makes it more chuckable etc. Stem is 90mm and don't use a layback post. If I was going to ride a lot more XC rather than singletrack and light freeride, I'd probably go 22".
goto your local orange dealer and book a demo bike....if it costs it'll be refunded when ya purchase..if your inside leg is over 32-33 inches then i reckon a 22"
get in touch if you need any help
Thanks for the advice, I have just managed to get a go on 20" this morning and it felt pretty good but perhaps a tiny bit short,but i suppose a layback post would sort that............
Inside leg is about 33" and i cant seem to find anywhere with a 22" demo!!!!
