Nimble 9 sizing full#

I only have one ride so far but it's good to ride a hardtail again (last one was a Kona with manitou or marzocchi fork maybe 15 years ago.). I bought it to complete my Ripmo which is build on the burly side. I just finished building my new hardtail, a Canfield Nimble 9. These numbers started with a 572mm A2C and a -1.5° angleset. Using an online bike geo calculator these are the numbers I came up with. Schwalbe Magic Mary and Big Betty Addix Soft 2.6

I also went matchy-matchy highlights with the housing/hose! I needed to get a new dropper because the seat tube is 30.9 instead of the 31.6 on the Honzo. I moved almost everything from my HonzoST to this frame. So, the Pole Taival was the closest to the numbers I thought I wanted. The sale of the frame didn't allow for the cost of a custom built frame. It felt tiny! As luck would have it I sold an old frame and set out to get new steel hardtail that would hopefully fit and compliment my G1. Had it out at the Bellingham pumptrack yesterday which was awesome (and quite a workout!).Īfter getting my G1 and riding a bike that fit properly my HonzoST wasn't cutting it any more. Think that covers it, had a few rides so far and love it for my more XC-ish rides.

Tires - Maxxis Aggressor 2.5 rear Minion DHF 2.6 front (soon to be 2.6 Rekons or Teravail Honchos)ĭrivetrain - Shimano XTR 1x11 with Garbaruk 10-50 cassetteīars - SQLab carbon 45mm rise - 16 degree sweep (love these, have the 12 degree sweep ones on my full sus) Wheels - Onyx hubs laced to NOBL TR36 rims I swapped all my parts over, sold off the high-end parts of the Why build and am nearing 'zero sum' territory which is nice :) A deal came up on a Why Wayward and I'd been thinking about those a while so decided to pull the trigger. The Surface is such a great, versatile bike but for me there were a few things I wanted such as better tire clearance (big fan of the 29x2.6 format which was a very tight fit on the Surface), a few more mounts for bikepacking trips, sliding dropouts for chainstay length and maybe a bit lighter.

I finally decided to replace my Chromag Surface with something different.
