27.5 plus

[Steve Vai]

I can't find Timberjack in medium size anywhere...I'll look for shop with Jamis bikes.

I got mine from a friend in Idaho. They don't exist on the open market yet.

@Robson Halters Cycles had a small timberjack. That was my second choice.

REI sells Timberjack but they have only small and large sizes right now.

Brakes are for Amateurs. Actual talk, I'm running brakes I can't show so I had to remove for pic.

Suspension and Ergons? Too front heavy bro!

Are those aluminum? I want to find myself a nice plus frame to build.

Aluminum. And, when you ride a bicycle for more than 40-minutes at a time, ERGONS!!

The orange is corny so I Acetoned it off and left the black. It's like murder now.

Does steel even make much of a difference in ride quality when you're running 3 inch tires?

Jamis or Salsa

Exactly the same question I'm asking myself.

 

[Steve Vai]

I can feel frame difference even with 5inch tires.

When comparing plus bikes, look at CS length, rake and BB drop. The last, bottom bracket drop can be significant for north jersey trails. My fuse has drop of 58mm and crank hits are annoying. This Jamis has a drop of only 47mm, so better clearance but perhaps not as good with railing flow trail, which we don't have anyway.

I'm confused now, then why the Timberjack?
and those secret brakes, will they be SRAM...

Sliding dropouts and threaded BB.
