finally i got the bike<\/strong><\/a> i always wanted. or so i thought.
\nit turned out the frame was ‘small’ and while i am no giant i am not really small either; on top of that santa cruz frames are typically a bit on the smaller side anyway. as a result i was stuck with a number of ingredients i was really happy with, but the whole thing felt like an 8 size foot in a 7 size shoe – works for 5 minutes but you end up hurting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

rather than sit around & fret i decided to take the opportunity to build the ultimate bike, the bike to end all bikes so to speak. and there is only one solution of course.<\/p>\n

the santa cruz nomad carbon – medium size. what else.
\ni spent a\u00a0day transferring all the components from the small nomad\u00a0frame to my shiny new carbon frame – after some cleaning and adjusting of course. later i replaced the wheels with a set build around ztr flows and converted to tubeless and i also got a set of kashima coated fox 36 with 180mm travel instead of the 160; it made the bike slacker without upsetting the balance.<\/p>\n

i still think this is a fantastic bike, even compared to the newer nomad cc. ok, the newer one is longer, slack and maybe a little lighter but the old one is not far behind.<\/p>\n

today it’s kris’ bike and if i ever have to i am sure she’ll allow me to use it as a spare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
