Hi,
A couple of days ago this review of Stanton Switchback was published on pinkbike:
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/stanton-switchback-review-2015.html
I visited Stanton website to learn about fitting 16.5 vs 18.0 frames for both the switchback and slackline. Since there is no info and you happen to be a lucky owner of some of these frames, I will be grateful if you could post what frame size you have vs how tall you are and how it feels...
Six foot on an 18" Slackline. Feels pretty good to me. Lots of fun.
I'm 5'8" and have gone for a 16.5" switchback, haven't built it yet though so I'm hoping it'll fit!
I'm a smidge over 6ft and ride an 18, which is awesome.
Just under 5'8" and I have a 16.5", feels just fine to me
6 foot on an 18 slackline as well, feels just about right
Thanks for answers,
davedodd and bungalistic, I assume you are both talking about switchback, right? I would assume that Stanton uses similar sizing for both their 26 and 650b toys.
I'm myself around 5'9'' which for many producers is pretty much somewhere between the sizes...
I'm 3 foot 14 and I can't reach the pedals. Sent it back.
Hope this helps.
5 9 you want the 16.5
A bit of a bump I know, but can any owners of an 18" Switchback post a pic as I can't seem to find one on line.
I was hoping to get a 16.5" but at 5ft 10" i'm guessing it may be a tad small
5"6 on a 16.5 Slackline.
Not had it long so trying to decide between a 50+60mm stem. Araprt from that, its a good fit.
damn, it's looking like it's conclusive that i'll need an 18" frame then.
I like my frames on the smallish side and the larger frames never really have the same appeal but if it looks good i'd be sorely tempted.
I am 6' and ride the 18". At first I thought it was spot on but I find it a bit too short in reach/top tube. Other than that it's a right machine and I reckon if it was 20mm longer it would be perfect.
I'm just over 5 9 and have a 16.5 slackline on order.
I tried a mates 18 slackline and although the reach was fine, I found the top tube a bit too high.
Having said that, it still cornered beautifully.
Had some emails back and forth with Stanton and they advise 16.5 for those upto 5 11.
