What I'm debating is sizing.
Had a Med M6, and changed it for a Large, and worked great, now the Trail is a M and feels very good.
What should I go for the SB?

I'm 5'10"

Cheers!

I'm thinking M.

I'm 6'1.5" / 186cm and on a large SB, XL 429tr, and XL Mach 4c.

My fiancee is 5'6" / 167cm and on a small SB, small 429sl.

I had trouble browsing through the middle of this thread on my tapatalk software. It was hanging.

I am 5'6". would the medium frame fit me?

Has anyone bought the switch blade?

Yes.

No.

So.

I'm 5'9", and going from Small Mach 6 to medium Switchblade and happy with it.

I'm surprised that you were riding a small M6. At 5'9" you're well into the medium size recommendation. The medium SB should work well. Most people are going the opposite direction, from bigger M6, 429, etc, to a smaller SB because it runs bigger/longer.

If it were me (I'm 5'6" also), I'd go with the small.

I am currently using the medium on Mach 5.7. The medium specs on switch blade is almost the same as Mach 5.7

How much did you guys pay for the switch blade?

I know right?

Couldn't reach the pedals with a 5" dropper on the medium M6, so had to go undersize on the M6 (shorty legs). The seat tube is shorter on the medium Switchblade, and that's good enough excuse to get a new bike (that's what I told the wife anyway).

I weight 140lbs. What's the proper rear shock pressure should I set on switch blade. I am considering buying it.

Set it based on sag, and play with the pressure from there. I'm currently sitting at riding weight plus 5-10 psi

Really? Check the numbers again.

Switch blade is 1 inch longer on top tube right

Has someone checked which other cranks will fit the Switchblade?
Will I really need a Q-Factor or minimal 173mm? Will the crank otherwise hit the rear of the frame?

Exactly where I am at. I weigh 220 ready to ride and I run at 225-230 psi.

FWIW Pivot said the lowest Q-factor cranks the boost 148 Mach 6 would accept is 163mm. I've been running the Sram Q156 xx1 with no problems. Even with crank boots theres a good quarter inch of chainstay clearance.

As of now no,some have tried I believe but need the longer crank arm shaft to accommodate 157mm boost. Not so much crank arm clearence as ring fit. I put a 32t Oval on mine and it is bare minimum clearence.
