So this thread has nothing to do with gloves but it has everyhting to do with sizing. I'm on the market for a new frame cause ive grown out of my current one. I have a 2017 Banshee Rune V.2 in a size large (in todays standards its a medium). Im 6'2 and im looking at a new Banshee Rune V.3 for 1400. Its a XL but the geo is the same as a canyon torque large. Would i fit on the bike fine or would it feel to big?
According to the geo charts you'll be increasing reach by 40 mm and top tube length by 36 mm. The reach on the XL Rune V3 doesn't look outrageous (it's 20 mm shorter than an XL Sight for example) so I think you'll probably be able to adapt to it, although it probably will feel pretty big at first. Based on my own experience sizing up (same height, similar reach before and after) the difference is noticeable, except now I feel much more in control.
The increased top tube length will have you stretched out more when seated, unless you have enough room to shorten the stem and/or move the seat forward to match your current cockpit length. Or it might be fine and you won't have to change very much.
