How long have you been 180cm tall?
It's a good price. For your friend perhaps the force would be a better choice. For you (if you're 180cm) a large dh bike being ridden as an xc bike (guessing that's your plan again?) should be suitable. My dh bike (ridden for dh) is a medium (intense 951). My freeride bike (ridden like a freeride bike) is a large (SC nomad). Both are old 26 models and SC used to make smaller sized bikes.Anyone got one of these, is a large the right size for 180cmView attachment 361357
They got rid of inches recently, bastardsHow long have you been 180cm tall?
Don't have any choice, no dh tracks around here, if I go any further my partner wants to come the I can't fit the bike in, it's a sad worldIt's a good price.

Do I buy a Bell super 3r in a medium for my medium sized 57cm scone?
And will it protect me from stupid?
Too long you think. I shall measure the top tube of my bike and see. Not sure about these modern 26rsThe horizontal top tube length looks fairly long on the large size.
It would be close to someone that is 180 but probably depends on body dimensions. I'm a 167 and I fit on the medium sized current model GT's, bike shop tried to put on a small and I said "no, I've always been on a medium", so they measure my body and say "oh you're right, you have a longer torso to the average person your height".Too long you think.

I hadn't picked you for only being in your early teens.It would be close to someone that is 180 but probably dempends on body dimensions.

Sweet, I'll need the extra smarts for buying at 10% jump in price. The company jacked the price just before I purchased and I was over my procrastination so couldn't be stuffed to shop elsewhere. I wonder if the price increase for already in stock goods was a covid gouge.The helmet come with a 300% guarantee to make you smarter.
overall width, just measured an old one that I had lying around.Anyone know much about Shimano Octolink BB's?
I'm trying to work out what size I need for my son's bike but as yet I've had no luck getting the old one out to read the label on it. All I've been able to measure is the distance from the end faces of the axle and also from the rebates on the axle. For the following example, does the 118mm mean overall width, or the inner distance as dimensioned?

Thanks @The Duckmeister & @Cosh, much appreciated - frame is definitely 68mm, just have to work out how to get the old one out now.

If you don't have the correct tool, multi grip pliers can do the job on the outer lip. Had no issues this week.
I had one like this, the Avanti hammer I built up for bil. Ended up using the electric rattle gun after soaking the thing for a few days in shift ya bastard. Took a little while but it came undone. No corrosion just installed by an idiot.Cheers @Sethius, I do have the correct tool - the drive side locking collar comes out no problem, it's the main cartridge bit that's stuck like a bastard. I think the Hulk must have installed it.
Great idea Dales, the BB tool I have has a 3/4" socket drive so an impact driver will be perfect to give it some stick with. I was thinking of a cross brace as a backup - seems the trick is in keeping the tool aligned so the splines are properly engaged.I had one like this, the Avanti hammer I built up for bil.
