[RBW] Sugino Wide/Low Double Feedback -- Triple vs Double

2015-04-02 Thread DSat
Any feedback from those who have used this wide/low dbl crank? Likes/dislikes? I see Riv recommends it for the Clem and I think that I saw it in one of the build kits for a Sam. Anyone got the wide/low and then switched back to the triple? Anyone switched from the triple to the double and e

I currently have a San Marcos which will either be sold or given to the son because the 59 is on the big side for me. That is one thing that I was thinking about was "how wide" of tires do I want at my weight. Are you keeping your Sam as well as getting the Clem? I'm sure that I could decide

Yes, I am afraid that the 51 Sam would not allow me to get the bars high enough. My lack of flexibility probably eliminates the Sam 51. On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 2:50:57 PM UTC-4, Shoji Takahashi wrote: > One thought: if you're looking to ride soon, then Sam is probably the > way to go.

For those with a 51 or 55 Sam, what is the true standover height with 32mm or larger tires. I think the 55 Sam would be at my max standover height and I didn't know if dropping down to a 51 would be doable or not. I'm kind of hesitant buy a bike with a fit that is at an extreme. Or would the

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I am just an in-betweener. I'd rather not have a bike fit me at an extreme. Sounds like 55 is just barely too big and the 51 would be a shade to small since I really like the bars high. Thanks again. On Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at 3:27:31 PM UTC-4,
