Modern Geo Talk: Chainstays, Stack, Reach, and Bitching About It

Yeah, that part is definitely a bit of a bummer. I would be curious how many design engineers and testers are above 6' in the industry. 

I ride a medium and think they're comically short. Do they get a deal only making two size stays?

It seems that the Chromag is more of a park, freeride trick bike.. The numbers make sense for that..

Rallon owner with a ratio of 1.75. It’s fantastic. Really natural and easy to figure out. Less arm pump and elbow tendonitis pain. Superb traction. Only downside is it might be slightly more likely to spin the rear wheel on heinous steep tech climbs when standing up. Maybe I just need to spend more time balancing my weight. 

re chainstays, it looks like the transition sentinel quietly went from a 448 to 442 in size large with their new colorways. WIth a 170mm fork, that puts it really close to the last generation nomad geo.

I still think they don't just because of how unbalanced the 465(!) reach will feel

I ride a large 2018 Smuggler with 430mm CS and 475mm reach and it's positively unrideable 🤦‍♂️ lol

Ok, at least one of you guys must have ridden the Reya by know, right? I’m still desperately curious about it, but I have no avenue to try one unless I buy it outright or take a flight.
