Sounds good - thanks.

Thanks - didn't realise there's a template for wanted. Will fix it up.

Item: Stans Flow mk3 29" wheelset with boost hubs, tape & valves Location: Cherrybrook (Sydney) Item Condition: Excellent apart from a couple of small scratches on the rear wheel. Bought new in April 2017 for $800 (2 months old). Reason for selling: Bought these to try 29" on my Stumpy...

Depending on the geo, a 29er with a low BB might end up too low with 27.5+ tyres resulting in a lot of pedal strikes. Also, the size of the tyre affects this such as a 2.8" Maxxis not being as tall as a 3" Specialized tyre. A 27.5+ bike is more likely to ride well as a 29er than the other way...

TT is a rubbery figure dependent on the seat tube angle. A better comparison is reach which is the horizontal distance from the BB to head tube. XC bikes which are designated for a longer stem will have a shorter reach than a AM/Trail bike.

Open to offers. These are $500 new including the remote.

Look for the Facebook group too. Good for trail status updates as it closes after heavy rain.

Nice bike. Weight isn't that big a deal for these bikes but steel and wide rubber isn't always heavier. My Norco Torrent frame is 2.6kg which is on par with steel and 27.5x2.8 and 29x2.5 DHFs are both 1kg. But there are different pros and cons with wheel/tyre size which are the deciding factor.

I've been riding a hardtail Torrent for a few months and my Stumpjumper has been pretty neglected since then. It's just good fun. 2.8 tyres are awesome for taking out a lot of the trail chatter (and heaps of grip) but the aluminium frame of the Torrent is very stiff and transfers a lot of the...
