Hi chaps, need abit of help and advice.

Anyone got a Canyon AL hardtail in a size L (20.5) ?? If you have, can you please tell me your Height and Inseam measurements.

Im looking at buying one (AL 8.0), but Canyon only have a Large left. Ive put all my details into the size finder and it comes up saying i need a Medium.
Now...if i put my Inseam in at 15mm more...its saying i need a Large !! Is this extra 15mm gonna make that much differance ?

Cheers.

    thats when you go to your friendly LBS!

    the inseam IMO is a backdated way of measuring frame height. Now we talk more about stack and reach
    which are measurements that can more accurately determine how you're gonna feel on a bike in a given size.
    Since the differences between a L from one brand to another can be huge!

    'generally' (even though it's unwise for me to give you any advise without seeing you or having seen your bike setup) people tend to go for the larger size if they prefer a relaxed more upright riding style and a smaller size for when they're into short racy sections.
