26" help

I recently bought a 26" limey 3 off culshaw95 to go with my limey 320, simply because I'd like to try out a bigger bike, see what happens. The thing is, I've ridden a mod since I started, and I'm not that knowledgable about finer details. 18:15? 18:16? 175mm cranks/170mm? What size stem? I don't know at all. The geo is: wb 1080 +35bb 380cs 1.6kg. Not sure on the reach. I'm around 5" 11. All advice appreciated. Thanks

18-16 will work, but the wheel will be right at the back of the drop outs and it'll feel longer. Also, crank clearance is a massive issue on these frames. You need cranks with loads of offset if you want to run thick brake pads such as French cousts or cnc heatsink yellows. Echo cranks are the best for clearance I've found. If not be prepared to get the grinder out to the back of them
