Cube 29er question

[markizok]

Hi guys - I went to try a cube 29er today and I can't decide between a 19" or 21" frame. I'm 6ft with a 33" inside leg. Does anyone have experience of these bikes?

Cheers
Mark

I'd always go for the smaller when it comes to MTBs. I've got the same inside leg (2 inches shorter though) and have an 18" 29er. Not a cube though.

What size is you current bike?

29er Cubes are 1" smaller than their 26er equivilents. My old Cube was a 18" 26er and the 17" 29er feels about the same size...maybe bigger cos of the bigger wheels.

Agreed.

Not that it's strictly a straight comparison, my Scott 29er is 17" and I'm 31" inside leg.

Well I don't actually have a bike at the moment so it's hard to compare....

I am 6ft 2 with shorty legs and a inside leg of 32". My 21" Cube 29er has a TT height of 31" halfway across and the reach to the bars is perfect for me!

Wonderful bike in every way. Love it!!

the bike shop should fit you to the bike, you dont want the seat post to far out or to low down.

I got a 19 inch frame Cube Ltd 29er last week, I am 6ft 1 with a 34 inside leg it fits me perfectly
