Hi all,
I currently own a (large) 575 built light with Mavrk Forks, XT etc. Have been getting into
more XC and endurance racing so need a more suitable bike that will be faster.
Looking at a BMC Trailfox 02. Did a test on 19" and it felt quite different to 575.
Upside: Better acceleration, quicker turning, slightly lighter than 575.
Downside: A bit less stable due to geometry, short top tube and long ch stays meant
a very fwd feeling position.
I am just under 6 ft with about 33" inseam - should I go the 21" and use a layback
seatpost and short stem??
Any trailfox owners with advice?
Thanks,
TCD
