Cheers Reid, that was the solution for Zed too, since the L's are longer for their size, but in Zed's case he's actually almost exactly the same height / PBH as me and had the same issue between 45 and 52. The L probably has more compliance too with the reduced stiffness of the design, I'm betting.
What this thread unintentionally highlighted for me is that most are using their Clem as an analog mountain bike (as it's advertised to be!) but that's not what I use mine for generally. I have a dedicated mountain bike already, and this is more of a commuter build (which, in the past, I'd use a 90's mtb for so this seemed like a natural extension). Occasionally I do ride trails on it, and occasionally I load it to the gills and it's handy to have the frame stiffness in those times.. but 90% of the time I'm riding it around as a commuter / errand bike. So in light of that, Platypus or Charlie H does seem a better fit. I am really analyzing these things right now because my next investment was going to be a new wheelset with dynamo setup, but being that the Clem is 26", it would greatly reduce my replacement options if I wanted to take them along. I'm also pretty curious about the next round of Rosco Bubbe that were hinted at when Riv received a bunch of extra 650B Susie/Gus forks in error. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
