it's anyone's guess but it is surprising how forward you can mount them...Gino runs the smaller size and that might help as well. You can also adjust them up or down for your kneeds...I run mine way low and way forward but I'm very ground centered... Kurt

Rex's report on the Crested Butte to Marble was timely and helpful as I am planning to ride it with some friends in early Sept. There are some other passes that I have questions about. Can any one share some information about Tincup pass west of Mt Princeton, the roads and trails that run between Cannondale and Leadville, and Mosquito pass east of Leadville? As a new rider I want to be challanged but don't want to get in over my head. Thanks Tim
