Thanks for the info, hadn’t realised I need to take the chainring off. The invisiframe kit arrives tomorrow and I’ll head back to the bike shop to get the chain tool (didn’t want to go back so soon for the lure of upgrades) Been thinking about getting a Parktools stand but will probably end up...
I’m also 188cm and tried the large which was a tad too small for me. I think you’ll find the XL size way better suited for you. Yes it’s a little unwieldy to get your leg over but once your sat on the saddle the XL fits like a glove.
Thanks for the info, I’ll probably balls up putting on the invisiframe (have enough trouble putting on a screen protector). Once it’s done that’ll be enough for me regarding protection, the rest will be trying to protect myself from the trails.
After what seemed like an endless search for a EMTB in XL, I managed to pickup a Rail 9. Couldn’t be happier, although I’m holding off on riding it until my invisiframe arrives. Have found some great pre-purchase info on here from y’all (y)and looking forward to sharing my experiences also...
