WTT, my 175 RS7s, for your 165s

Post by Gari »

Long shot maybe but I have a pair of 175 RS7s in pretty good nick, that are now too long for me. Anyone have the same/opposite problem?
Having run a bike with 165s for a while I got back on my CX bike, with 175s, and the aching knees returned in pretty short order.
Pretty strange what you get used too, I have ridden 175s as long as I can remember, and always put the knees etc down to getting old( which it is of course, to some degree) Who would have thought that 10mm could make such a difference!? (feel free to insert inappropriate humour here :grin: ) It felt really cramped riding the CX bike, like I was all hunched over?

I might have a pair of 165s lurking around Gari. I'll check tonight and PM you.

Can't help, I'm afraid, as I am in exactly the same position! Definitely more comfortable on 165s. 175mm SRAM XX1 for GXP, anyone?

Just checked and they're 170 not 165, sorry. Let me know if they're of use, and my apologies if not.

Hi Pyro, thanks for looking. How much do you want for them? May be OK, only 1way to find out.
You a photographer by any chance?
