Hold Fast Converter29 Frame

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.
