My dedicated 69er


After experimenting on my 2 bikes (a 26er and a 29er), I finally decided to make my 26er a DEDICATED 69er.  The ride with a 69er is better than a 26er and 29er.  But, I'm keeping my 29er as it is.

I bought a new front wheel for her to avoid the hassle of borrowing the front wheel of my 29er.


The front wheel:
  • Rim - WTB Speed Disc All mountain 36 holes
  • Tire - Maxxis Cross Mark 2.1
  • Rim tape - from old inner tube
  • Spokes - Generic
  • Hub - Deore
Some geometry:
  • BB height - 310 mm
  • Head tube angle - 70 deg.
  • Seat tube angle - 72 deg.
Others:
  • Frame - 2009 KHS Alite 150
  • Fork - Rigid Mosso M3 ATC 440 mm
  • Drivetrain - Single speed (Deore Crank 32t, IG51 chain, Surly Cog 17t, Surly Spacers)
  • Pedals - Clipless SPD
  • Brake - Single / front brake only - Deore hydro - right lever)
