i'm 6"4 with a 35 ish inside leg and i ride an xl, but i don't have much seatpost showing and only 1-2 inches standover. But it feels right in terms of length and position.
It's my surname, i've always been slightly left leaning in my politics and i'm a bit of a geek. I can't actually remember why the vowels got removed. My real names ben, stalk away 😉
i believe that if the qr has been loose in the past it can move and enlarge the drop out. Even then if you have it tight it will move slightly and creak.
More seatpost showing than on my singular (although I could raise mine a bit I think), short legs and a long body/monkey arms are a PITA when it comes to moutain bikes fitting! 😉
none of the 5-10 shoes are veggie/vegan i emailed them and asked. I think those shimano shoes for flat pedals with the vibram sold have synthetic uppers but don't know about the glue.
the most annoying thing is that people could pick it up or make sure its not in the middle of the path. Unlike the field of cowpats i had to negotiate today. 🙁
i have never been to a bike shop that doesn't struggle for space. If you stock two brands for example and have demo bikes for the 2 or 3 key bikes in the range thats 4 to 6 more to squeeze in with all the bikes in for repair and your display stock. Plus a shop doesn't get the level of discount from the supplier that they would then have to give when they sold it at the end of the year as it's essentially second hand.
is it the middle of the outer mech plate or towards one end? If towards one end do you need to alter the angle of you mech? Alternatively is the big ring spaced out off the chainset for some reason?
Pass, Jagwire is distributed by Moore Large if that is any help. Your LBS may therefore be able to order them however if you want two and they come in a pack of 50 then they may not.
I don't know the answer but one thing to consider is how are you planning on taking payments i.e. do you need some form of secure server to collect CC information which I assume will increase the costs/have a subscription attached?
