thinking of making the change to 29"

Reality|Bites · 16 Oct 2015 at 16:57

I've googled for a little while and can't find the answer so i'll just ask here.

I currently use a 19" frame with 26" wheels, if I were to move to 29" wheels would I still be buying a 19" frame or would I have to buy a smaller/bigger frame?

If you make the frame larger then you have to stretch forward more for the handle bars. It then puts strain on your back, the shoulders and arms. So better try the frame size first.

if your happy with the fit of your current bike just google the geometry for your size and when you buy a new bike find one with the closest measurements
