I’m guessing the 19 will be just dandy and at that price, you’re stoked! I can’t believe they are selling for such a low price. You’ll love the DW-Link.

As far as setup tips and maintenance, I was able to get the air pressure dialed in pretty quickly and I didn’t see any maintenance issues. With all those pivots, you just need to check them periodically. Enjoy the ride!

Hey thanks for the help, I’ve been nervous since I ordered the 6.6 19″. I sat on a large Nomad and that felt really good, so thats what I’m hoping it will be similar to… I got a pretty good deal on it from Randall Scott ($1724.00) Do you have any recommendations as to the setup or maintenance/problem areas? Thanks

Hey Garth…

I’m the same size and typically prefer a smaller-feeling frameset and like around a 23-23.5 inch top tube. On the 6Point6, I actually rode the 17-inch frame that has only a 22-inch top tube length and it felt great. the cockpit was a bit more upright, but I found the bike to climb and descend really well and the bike never felt cramped to me.

It’s entirely dependent upon your preferences and riding style. I think I could personally be happy with either the 17 or 19, but the 17 felt great to me except as noted above. Hope that helps.

At 5 11 what frame size would you recommend? How tall are you? Thanks

I just had another fantastic ride on the 6Point6… this bike continues to amaze me with it’s climbing and descending prowess. I’m hauling down stuff and the suspension just soaks it up.
