Update: Pewter Solos Headset - check! Manitou Nixon Fork - Check! and I'm going with the Alex rims for the wheelset instead of the out of stock Equalizers Getting there slowly but surely.

Velocity P35??

Quote: Originally Posted by AzSpeedfreek Won't the eyelets distribute the tension/stress more evenly to the rim thus resulting in the ability to run higher tension (than a non-eyelet rim) if needed? Not necessarily. Most eyelet-less rims (like the P35) are designed that way intentionally and account for these stresses. As some others have hinted here, removing more rim material to add eyelets could actually increase stresses to the rim...

The large is a "virtual" size 19.5 with an ACTUAL seat tube length of something like 17.5". Thanks, corrected my post. Never heard of a virtual seat tube measurment ??? Seems like a short length for an XL frame .

Sun Equalizer 27s and Alex XDlites are eyelted too. Opinions vary, but the need for eyelets now is much less than it once was. Old mavic road rims, like a GL330 were as hard as wet cardboard...they needed them. Newer, stronger alloys...not so much. A lot of people are abusing Stans and other non-eyeleted rims w/o failure.

Hmmm ok that makes sense. Is there a spoke tension limit on the P35 like there is on the Stans rims?

There is all kinda weird stuff going on in those pictures. He's running an XTR crank with and XX groupset...
Hmm.. Unless Specialized is prototyping a 650b tire with him, then I think its a 26'' rear. You can see the Specialized logo on the tire in picture 50.

Just purchased a used Trek Top Fuel 69er frame. I measured the center of BB
to top of seat post tube and have 19.5", HT is 5" and actual TT is 24.25" .
I can't find geo spec's anywhere. Trek lists a 19.5" as a large, 21.5" as
an XL. Any idea what I have ? Thanks.

I found a Trek Top Fuel 69er frame for sale and wonder how it would work as
a trail bike - XC to light AM use ? I'd run a Reba 120mm Maxle U-turn fork
up front, 28mm rims and the rest of the components would be of XT quality.
Is this a XC ride on is it capable with 90mm of rear travel ? Thanks.

If I were you I would go with that coffee color, even if it does fade over time. Still be more interesting than another black bike. I think the color in that pic looks really good. Would like to see it in person.

I say go for it - especially since your fork - the Psylo - has ample room
for 650b!

How did you go about measuring the speed different between the 1.75 and the
