These bikes are not afraid of a tall front end. I've got a 120mm X-fusion trace on the front of my Nimble 9 and have been thinking about extending it out to 140. The geometry should be better with the taller A-C height. Canfield Bikes Performance Mountain Bikes MTB For Sale. today introduces an all-new Frost colorway of its iconic steel hardtail, the Nimble 9. Similar bikes won‘t keep up with the Nimble 9 while riding downhill or sprinting. Some tires are better fit than others but generally this will fit well. The Nimble 9 is geared about the same as similar bikes for riding up hills. I think that there are a few 490mm rigid forks on the market. As a reference, a Nimble was designed to fit a 29' 2.5 tire comfortably and in a 2015 it will fit a 2.8 tire with a 35I rim. This will make both the steering and seat tube angles steeper. The fact that you'll be using a rigid fork with an A-C of only 470 means that the front end will be lower than with the 120mm fork they are basing the geo numbers on. Since you'll be running rigid, can I assume that you'll not use a dropper post? Then you can use a setback post to get the effective angle slacker. If you're on the cusp between frame sizes, the smaller frame with more post showing is going to get you the slacker angle that you want. If your legs are longer or shorter than the "norm" this would have a similar effect. Conversely, if you ran a larger frame and then needed less post showing, you'd end up with a slacker effective number. If you run a smaller frame and therefore need more post showing, the effective result would be slacker than the published 75°. If you had a "standard" amount of post showing, you'll end up at their listed effective number. But it starts from further forward and a plain diamond frame. ![]() Click to expand.I assume the the upper part of the seat tube is the slack 70.88° number.
