I wouldn't, a 69er has a 26" rear and a 29" front. The fisher has very 90's xc geo (71.5 degree head angle) so raising the front a little will just make it feel more modern.

Trek even had one in production for a while
I might even singlespeed it to confuse you furtherLast edited by jointhedotz; 17-03-16, 13:44.

My Moab was singlespeed, 16t back, with 32 up front, with a Surley tensioner and Salsa ring, nice and simple, tried it for at least 10 rides, then thought what's the point in this, I want to go faster, or easier up a hill. It went in the binOriginally posted by AaronI want those sweet cherries

SS for me saved in weight, changing gears intra-ride, and setting up indexing.
The saving in weight, was offset by the pure inefficiency for 90% of the ride and being in the wrong gear, trashing all kinds of kneecap cartilage due to excess torque action.
Saving in faff? Well yes initially it saved the hour or so of fettle gear tune on stand, but i'm quite fond of fettling gears
Save of changing gears intra-ride, i quite like changing gears!Originally posted by AaronI want those sweet cherries

Haribo didn't last long enough to get snapped
They also included a free sample of THESE which I may give a test run of over the weekend
I also discovered I had some Amazon vouchers from work I didn't know I had, so treated myself to some new shoes, top and shorts - cost me nowt !
Well chuffed

Fettle-tastic!!
I can't wait to hear how your first cassette change goes.
When I changed cassette and chain together I was amazed how awesome my bike felt afterwards. I have a feeling you are going to get that nice new bike feeling and come back with a grin from ear to earOriginally posted by coilerthe trails is where life flows bestOriginally posted by coilerCruciate, when you need answers, proper answers, head for the tower on the hill, top O' the trail, clarity will be delivered.
