[RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

I have to agree with Keith. At 5'10" and 85 pbh, I spent some time comparing the 54 Hunq and the 52 Clem at Riv HQ. The longer stays on the Clem made the Hunq feel almost twitchy and awkward by comparison (It's not!). The Clem was just really smooth and fun and the 650b wheels felt like

[RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

The hunq's chainstay stays the same at 46cm across all sizes. I hope they keep the 48cm chainstay at 46cm and adjust accordingly on the larger sizes. 46cm is plenty enough for me, and will still allow me to get normal chains for replacement. On Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 9:30:32 PM UTC-5,

[RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

I wonder what the max tire width will be with the new geo. I've wanted a Hunq, but given it's 95% the same as my atlantis I can't justify. If it could clear something fatter than 2.25 I'd be aall over it On Friday, December 18, 2015 at 8:48:26 AM UTC-6, Philip Kim wrote: > > The hunq's
