![]() ![]() My concern is that I'm overrating the benefit of a low BB and ignoring the benefit of a higher one especially while pushing deep into the longer forks travel. This puts the BB at about 12.1" with the same 27.5x2.5 tires. The Torrent also ticks the geo boxes and has a 15mm lower BB height. My calculations show the BB height with 27.5x2.5 tires only about 5mm higher (about 12.69") than my current aluminum hardtail with 2.6 Minions. Most people seem to really love their stylus so it leads me to believe it's not too big of an issue. The Stylus is what my gut tells me to go with though I wonder how that higher bottom bracket feels. I've narrowed it down to these two as they tick all of the boxes but I have concerns about each. ![]() I also would be running a 160 or 170mm 27.5" boost Fox36 on either. ![]() I've decided to stay with 27.5" wheels and based on other's input I shouldn't have problems running a 2.8" tire if I so wanted. I'm looking for an aggressive steel hardtail frame to build up soon and I have been reading, calculating, and otherwise spending way too much time obsessing over the geometry of these. ![]()
