The 650B Hunqapillars are now available on the drop-down menu on the Hunq
page! Still no geometry or sizing information but maybe that's coming
soon. At least we can see the spread of sizes now.

Hey Keith,
I'm just going to address the 650b vs 29er on a Hunqapillar issue (I've no

significantly one way or the other. The plusses and minuses offset each
other on varied terrain. Keep in mind I'm on a 62 Hunqa with 29er wheels
So it looks like it’s official! Has anyone local to RBWHQ seen a sample

Being a smaller fellow (who'd ride a 48 Hunq), I think 2.5s would give me
enough pneumatic suspension that, paired with elbows and knees) would be
sufficient for mostly any trails I'd be interested in.
2.5 is definitely possible with rim brakes?

I have to agree with Keith. At 5'10" and 85 pbh, I spent some time
comparing the 54 Hunq and the 52 Clem at Riv HQ. The longer stays on the

Interesting conversation. I don't really notice chainstay length one way or
another on the road, but for me, climbing singletrack isn't as fun with
longer stays. I end up spinning out the back tire with my longer-stayed

I tend to agree. The long bike idea seems fine. I'm neither for or against it.
I've not yet heard anyone claim revolutionary ride results, so I don't see it
as such an immense improvement that all bikes must be long now. I do think the

Good guess Shoji. The Hunqapillar frame is 48. For reference I am 5'7" with
a PBH that ranged between 79 and 81 (we used 80 as a measurement).
