Coaster Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Always rode short frames. Like 1010. Will a longer frame fit me better? Are there any long frames with Magura mounts on the market. I know there are some Rockman, but they have only Disc and have a 100+ BB that i don't like. Can you may post a pic of your bike if ist a long one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) whats the problem with your geo? as youve been asking that 175mm crank question recently,do you feel cramped at all when riding? how would you like your bikes behaviour to be changed? complete geo and stem/bars setup would be helpful,especially the reach of your frame,which has more influence than the wheelbase Edited November 28, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Wheel base won't make a difference for height , longer reach is what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Will a longer bike make any change while doing bunnys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) definitely,reach makes the difference.but if you got a longer wheelbase and the reach is the same your headangle could come out way slacker=bike less responsive on 2 wheels dont know how the headtube angles are on mods typically,but for example if a frame has 0.5° steeper hta and the rest of the geo stays the same the reach will be like 8-10mm longer Edited November 28, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juantime Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 after riding a 20" I got a 24" then a 26" because I didn't like the feel of the smaller bikes. I'm about the same height as you 6' / 6' 1" I feel a lot more at home on a 26" and things are a lot easier to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
