The SB8 "almost" fitted. But didn't.Tessaiga said:
I can't think that either:-
1) Raising the BB 1.5in
or
2) Running a 29in wheel with a 65deg static head angle
would be a good thing.
650B's if you must, but even a 29in wheel even on a rigid fork doesn't work well.
niner carbon rigid fork at 470mm and 29ers f+r should bring it closer to 69 up front, but the seat angle would be 77 or somesuch.
bb drops about 1.5 because of the shorter fork at the front, but should raise a maybe 1/2" again because of the rear wheel.
might hit 70 head and 78 seat angles once the raising of the rear of the frame's taken into account, but again, as brant said, that's without the right tire clearance, so unless you'replanning on running 45's...
so a burly steel slack head steep seat'd disc only crossbike? LOL!

Tess, som guy posted about running his pig with a 120mm Reba 29r and 650b's f & b. He seemed to like it. I thought about going that route too but figured that I'd leave it the way it is.
Sounds like you need to go visit Salsa Cycles and take a look at some of their steel 29r HT's.

Why would you want to run a Blue Pig as a 29er, it is a fantastic bike and it rides so well as it is intended for, 26 inch wheels!
If 29ers are your thing, then go with a specific frame. It would be a shame to mess up the angles by running big wheels.
Any way, isn't there a Ragley 29er on it's way?

What size chameleon do you ride?
I have my 18" 06 chameleon set up with the 100mm stem, and was a little wary of the 50-70mm stem recommendation for proper handling with the Ragleys. Love the chameleon, but i would tend to have to make bigger adjustments when climbing the steeps so i wouldn't wheelie...
There's something about the angles on the pig, it's a little shorter, but it isn't uncomfortable...
5'11 and a half, 31 inch inseam, 18 inch blue pig...

So, my frame is waiting at the post office (the didnt leave it bc no one was home.....). hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow.
Quick quesiton:
Has everyones frame come with the headtube and BB shell faced, reamed, chased, etc? I know one post earlier had disk mounts faced when the frame was recieved. I am trying to get mine built before an out of town trip this weekend and am just curious if i need to allow time for head tube and BB facing.
Thanks!

Hi, I've started to play with the thought of a rigid 69er Pig, 1x9. A simple bike that will take some beating. The traks in mye area are hilly singletrack with flow but root strewn.
- Nukeproof 26" rigid fork (445mm Axle to crown)
- 29" front wheel w. some 2.5 rubber front
- 2,35 rubber rear
Is this a feasible project, or would I get the geometry all wrong / to slack for a 29" wheel? Any other 29" issues I will run into?
The option is to wait for a steel version of the TD-1. But it's descibed as having a "ass up race position", and I'm looking for the rigid qualities in the TD-1 but want more of a play bike.

...change of thought... 26/26 rigid.
But what should to lenght of the fork be? I assume 455 - 460mm a-to-c as a suspension corrected lenght, but can't find any forks that fits the equation.
Available:
- Orange F8, 450mm a-to-c,
- Nukeproof 29er, 470mm a-to-c
- Surly Karate, 468mm a-to-c
I would like to keep the front as light as possible. Could the Nukeproof be modified?
Any suggestions? Brant, can you give advice?
