Hi. Anyone one here ridden one of these and can offer any thoughts on the BB height? Reviews look good but Mrs Tooby noticed they all mentioned pedal strikes. Good price though. Wheelbase website.

Geometry is 100% identical to the Stumpjumper, so you'd be better off asking about that probably (much bigger sample size).

I do find I have more pedal strikes on my Stumpy than most other bikes, but it's amazing in fast corners / berms, so it's a price I'm happy to pay.

p.s. of course you can adjust the actual BB height considerably by varying the shock sag.

Thanks Glenh. We never thought about the shock settings affecting the BB. Yes, that's going to help, and with it being boost, we could potentially stick some 29" wheels on it too for slop fest conditions. Win win!!

I'm a male rhyme rider and although some pedal strikes it's a great bike. Was about to mention my mrs' hardly used med is for sale at about that price but it's the 650b version.
