Adam-Griffin Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm "5,8 and my GU was 1035, was fine, my megamo however is 1005 bso i'm not sure how i'm going to find that To be honest with you i've rode frames ranging from an old school T-bird at like 1000- a long KO which was 1050 and they were both fine, it's just getting used to it, somewhere in the region of 1020-1035 i would Reccomend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 From a 1005 wheelbase to a 1030 wheel base your talking a 25mm increase in the distance your axles are apart. (2.5, tiny)Biggest different you can make to your bike would be handlebars and stem, try a new set-up and see if that makes it any different.You may also want a change in BB rise.

AdamR28 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Try a longer and higher stem, such as a Meta, Atomz, Trialtech Welded, V!Z Forged... will make a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
