Never checked out the DV9, but it looks great for under 1K. Are you sure it's a BSA BB?Prolly AL... but if there is a right deal on a leftover... would pull carbon. Anywhere from 5 to 10 benny? Maybe little more?
100-120 travel. Thinking more XC orientated.
Was looking at Ibis DV9? and it was marketed as a 29er... wondering if 27.5+ would fit.
It has a threaded BB but has a rather short reach. L is 422mm with a 120 fork.... does this mean I should get a XL if I go this way?Never checked out the DV9, but it looks great for under 1K. Are you sure it's a BSA BB?
Only the carver AL looks about right. Others are too slack. Keep goinghttps://ridegg.com/pedalhead-frame

Aliexpress lolLooking around all the affordable ones aren't boosted and have qr and they're 29ers
Aliexpress lol
Not sure where you are looking but most new frames will be boost.
I guess "affordable" is a vague term but most frames above $500 were boost... at least the ones I have seen.
I am leaning towards the Niner Air 9 AL... it pretty much checks all the boxes except for that stupid PF30
Idk... but would that solve the creeking issue... maybe i should man up get get a press fit tool. Just don't want to goto the LBS every time there is a creek. I mean my crux is press fit but thinking to get rid of it.is there a pf30 to threaded conversion? gets permanently installed?
