Description:
We believe in purpose-built bikes, and this Converter29 is designed for pure street. Quick and responsive, stable yet comfortable, this is a frameset for the advanced freestyle rider. We’ve incorporated many functional design details into this frame. We selected a special blend of OX Platinum steel tubing, which offers the benefits of a lighter frame without sacrificing any of the strength (it actually gets stronger at the weld points, reducing unecessary weight and eliminating the need for gussets!). It has “just enough” of a negative bottom bracket for grind clearance, and its “dialed in” fork length & short head tube add to its strength while saving even more weight. And its short wheelbase & tight rear triangle (with the shortest chainstays of any frame in it’s category) it offers superb handling, especially during transitions.
Recommendations:
- -Bar height for 29”: 3-4 inches (4″ is ideal)
- -Chainring clearance up to 36t (while this frame will accept chainrings as large as 36t, we recommend either running a 33t chainring or smaller. If you are planning to run a chainring larger than 30t, use as few spacers as possible for proper chainline).
- -Ideal gearings 30/12, 30/13, 33/12, 33/13
- -Use only a 8mm Allen wrench for top cap installation.
- -We recommend cutting down your bars to your own personal preference. Never let another man tell you how short to cut your bars.
