[Closed] 26er Full Sus Frames

Kona are making one. Can't remember what its called though. I think its a Process model - maybe something like the 167?

Liteville (although 26" is recommended on the smaller frames). I'm running a large 601 on 26" and it's brilliant

From memory I think you can put 26 wheels on some of the new Transition frames.

Transition Suppressor

Pivot Mach 5.7c

They actually recommend 24" rear on the extra small models.

I've just bought and built an XL 601. I chose 26" rear and 650B front.
Shakedown was last weekend at Inners/Golfie. Happy 😀

Banshee still have dropouts for both.

Don't banshee bikes still do different dropouts so you can put 26" wheels on?

Edit: beaten by seconds

something similiar came up not too long ago

I bought two ariel saracen frames 14x and 16x sooooo cheap and so good from Stanley bridge cycles in Waltham abbey

Ecky, how did it ride with the 27.5 front? It's something I've got it mind when funds allow, keeping the 26" rear..

Chain reaction have an Intense tracer 2 on sale for £1200.

Absolutely brilliantly 😀
No surprise though as that's the same setup I've ridden on 601s in Garda and Finale.
40mm Syntace rim on the front with a 2.5" "Liteville special" vertstar Magic Mary.
Had Saturday on the uplift at Innerleithen as a suspension set-up/tuning day and it rode very well on the steep stuff (Goldrun and Cresta).
Then had a full day Sunday on the Golfie trails and found that I had more controlled grip than my mates on the silly steep stuff. I could brake and turn where they were sliding out, on trails like "No Social" and "Wolf of Wall St" if you're familiar.

650B front and 26" rear is definitely the way to go on the 601.

some Commencal ones still available..

DMR Bolt - 26" as standard, but you can swop the dropouts for 27.5 (or use 27.5 wheels with *just* enough clearance 😉 )
