anybody 5'11" riding a large Niner?

supersquad3 · Jul 11, 2009

Hi, rode a medium EMD. Felt like I had a ton of seatpost showing. I'm thinking about going with a large. My legs are longer and have a shorter torso. I have a Vassago in a medium which is closer in size to a large Niner. Anybody have the same problem.
thanks

I'm about 5 10.5 and really likeing the fit on my size large Jet9.

5'11" and a medium MCR 9 was too small for me

My large JET 9 fits me perfectly.

5'11" too and the large EMD and MCR were just right for me. But I've been riding a Medium RIP since '07 - and with a 5" fork and fat tires I couldn't take a higher standover.

Hi I'm 6ft & ride a Large Jet9 & know this is the right size for me & find I'm not as fast on a Med frame,I ride with my seat higher than most people my height 770mm or 30.3 inches form the centre of the cranks to the top of the seat inline with the seat post.

I have owned 3 med & 5 Lge MTB's in the last year so I know for sure what suits me Large feels great for me.

Depending on who holds the tape I'm either 6' or 5'11" and have a 35 inch true inseam.

I ride a large Sir9 and Air9 and they fit like a glove.

I'm 6'0, 34 in inseam, and have a large EMD. I was worried when I got it so I called my friend who is a Niner dealer in another state he said ''are you kidding, I ride a large and I'm 5'10 with 34 inseam'' My large rides just perfect.

I'm almost 6' but ride with the top of my seat 32" above the center of the bb, that means I have long legs and a short torso. I am completely happy with the fit of my large Rip9 with either a 70 or 90mm stem. I don't like long stems, do you?

I'm 5'-11" and ride a large Air 9. The fit (for me) is perfect with a 100mm -6deg stem and straight Thompson seatpost.

I am 5'11 and own both a medium sir9 and large jet9. I never felt confortable on the sir until I bought the large jet. Fits me like a glove.

Depends

I ride a medium Jet at 5'11" and it fits great. I like a smaller 29er because the bigger frames feel tall and awkward to me.

Same here. I ride Medium One9 and I'm 178cm. Fits fine, enough TT space with 90mm stem and straight Thomson post. This is one stiff mother, eee, lover. I also have Large 08' RFX and 19'' Kona Hei-Hei.

6 foot, medium MCR, 110 mm stem. fits perfect

6' with a 34" true inseam. I ride a large EMD and it fits perfect.

I'm 5'11 and my large 08 RIP fits like a glove.

5'11" and I ride a Medium Air9. Fits perfect.

I'm 5'11 and was having the same issue with my medium. Finally broke down and bought a large replacement. I had a ton of seatpost showing on a 410 thomson on the medium, i had to be just past the max line to get the leg extension I wanted.

I am 5'11 and I always rode a 18" bike so when I went to buy my niner through the web site (when they sold them that way) that equated to a medium. I rode it for a month. I felt that I could not get comfortable even when changing stems and set back on it so I went to a shop that sold Niners and they sized me to a large. It has been riding bliss ever since. I ended up selling the medium and bought the large through the shop. Never underestimate the value of a good LBS
