Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had a small sized Commencal 5.5 and could let me know their inside leg measurement and amount of clearance they have, I'm thinking of getting one but there aren't any shops that stock them close to me, so I don't want to make a longish journey to look at them if they are not suitable.

My inside leg is only about 31 inches.

Thanks,

Julie

    Hi
    My Inside leg is 30 inches and I'm happy with the fit of my Medium Meta 55.2. I'm between 5'8'' and 5'9'' short. Bear in mind they have short (70mm) stems.

    Hi Julie

    I have a small Meta 5.5 with Maxxis High Roller on the front and a DH Minion out back, both are 2.35, size of the tyre makes a difference to the standover.

    The average standover is 30 inches, this equates to 29.5 to the rear and 30.5 to the front.

    On the Meta the standover can't be lower than this because of the upright shock, with frames like the Orange 5 because the shock lays down the standover is better at 26".

    My inside leg with my hobnails on is 30.5 inches

    Regards,

    Robert
