Hi,
I am building a Giant TX29er from scratch. I already have a Large frame + a lot of bits and pieces. Now I do not really know what to buy as regards seatpost and stem...
I weigh 73-75kg (160 - 165 pounds) and am 1.86 m tall (that would be ca. 6' 1'' I think).
The questions are:
1. What seatpost length should I go for? 350 or 400mm? ATM I am not planning to get a dropper post, just a standard one.
2. Shall I purchase a post w/ an offset or a straight one? If offset - what should it be?
3. What stem length should I go for? 60mm? Longer maybe?
FWIW I am thinkinbg of buying a wide bars - between 750 and 780 mm.
How light can I go with the components here? I intent to do light trail riding, no large drops or very rocky terrain. And I do not want to break the bank with carbon, so am looking rather at alu parts.
What would be your advice?
