I'm running a 60mm stem and the bars started as 785 but I've since cut them down to about 750mm. What fork are you going with?

Yeah I'm running a revelation set at 140. The front end can start wondering on some steep climbs but overall its a blast with the 140 up front.

thanks for the insight man! there is a Marzocchi 44 TSA Switch 29er on pricepoint for $399.99 that switched from 140mm down to 110mm for climbs. That seems nice but i dont know much about Marzocchi

Does anyone ride Steel HTs? Do you like them? What Bike? What Wheel Size? Any pictures? 

I am in the market for a new bike and Steel Hardtails seem to peek my interest the most.


I'm back on my 10 year old hardtail and I am absolutely loving it. THe Niner Rigid fork is the perfect combo for this bike. Little short on travel, but it climbs and corners like no tomorrow.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.
