Medium Chainstay needed for V 2.0
- Thread starter Glory707
- Start date
Yes, I have a large to trade. My bike came with a medium, which has been fine, except one of the clamps just cracked. I bought a large with the bike, which has been wrapped and in my attic until this Friday. I installed it but it will take too many other mods to make it fit properly.
Anyway, it sounds like you have a medium. Is it new or used? What color?

19.5” is what I need. I’m assuming you’re measuring from the centerline of the bottom bracket clamps to the axle of the quick release skewers.
The large one that I cannot use, measures 23 inches.
How many miles on yours?
Please confirm that it is 19.5 inches from the centerline of the Bottom bracket clamps to the centerline of the quick release skewer hole. Is extremely likely that I will buy this one as a spare, assuming that I trade Gary123 my large one for his medium Yellow one.
Can you ship it by Tuesday? Where would you be shipping it from? Can I make a direct apposite to your bank or do you prefer PayPal or mail you a check or....?
BTW, I am in Northern California. Santa Rosa to be exact.
I am assuming that because it is Yellow, it is off of a V2.0, not a V20. Would you like to trade the all aluminum boom insert piece that has the handlebar clamps on one end and inserts into the curved bottom bracket boom?
Depending on your height, some riders trim the ends of their’s in order for it not to bottom out into the curved bottom bracket piece. I trimmed 2.7” off of mine and I have a 34 inch inseam.
Even though my current boom insert will work with The bike, set up with a medium chainstay, I would prefer to have the standard length one, to have that extra bit of overlap. Feel free to ask for clarification on my request, since I don’t know if I’m using the correct terminology for the frame components.
You might need to look elsewhere. My steerer has also been trimmed (not sure how much) but wouldn't want to risk any less overlap which u would have on shorter chainstay. I'm about 31 inseam and looking to raise my bb. Also not sure if di2 wire is long enough for longer chainstay. I suppose you're trying for a lower bb.
I just want to go back to the way I had it before I tried using the longer chainstay, since the longer chainstay puts my handlebars in a position that restricts my leg movements. Certain torso and leg length combinations just will not work with the longer chainstay and mine is one of them.
Actually, there is a way this could work but I would have to buy another fork, with a longer stem on it, to enable me to position the handle bar higher up.
So, would you still be interested in trading your medium chainstay for my large one?

I may have spoken too soon . I would rather have longer chainstay installed and test ridden before I get rid of mine. I'm used to higher bb on Bacchetta but some here say that's not that important. Right now bb is a couple of inches above seat on v and I think I would like it higher but might have same handlebar issue you referred to. I'll probably keep what I have unless I could just buy a large chainstay or sell vendetta and buy an S40.
