Just put a deposit on a 2021 Middlechild. I had one, even before I started riding a Yelli, and it was an awesome bike. If I wanted a steel bike I'd almost certainly stick with the Nimble 9. That's kind of why I'm thinking I'd go all out with the Ti MC. Never had an issue with pedal strikes on the rootdown riding in the rocky southwest. ![]() I'm a big fan of Chromag and just replaced my 2016 rootdown with the new 2020 frame. You could stick with canfield brothers and get the new nimble 9. Then it was on to a transition transam and then 2 chromag rootdowns.

I wanted to run regular tires 2.5/2.4, so now on a Chromag Wideangle. After riding the MC with 27.5 x2.6 I realized the smaller wheel size was where it’s at for my terrain which requires a lot of explosive pedalling with twisty turny up and down. I went Surface, Rootdown, Middle Middle Child. Your terrain sounds a lot like the terrain around me. Generally with a slack head angle even with short stays like the Rootdowns 415’s you’ll have the longer wheelbase. I've checked out those others, and I just think they either have too long chain stays, too long wheelbase, or too steep head angle.Īnother bike that I found that looks really interesting on paper is the Curve Downrock, but I don't see any rider reviews on it, only professional ones. In general I'm ok with the higher BB to avoid pedal strikes, but I see your point. If I was set on 29 I’d look at the Rootdown. The Middle Child frame is technically designed around 27.5 plus, so running it 29 will have the BB sitting on the 325 range, which isn’t ideal for railing corners.

Some rocks and drops as well, but I really want a bike that's really going rail tight single track. Trails around here (Mid-Atlantic) that I take my hardtail on are generally intermediate level with lots of twist and flow, and shorter punchy climbs. I'm thinking I would build it as a 140 travel 29er, and I'm strongly considering the Ti since my hardtail is usually my number 1 bike. The middlechild has really caught my eye, but I don't know of anyone around here who has one so I doubt I'd ever get to try it before buying. Sizing depends on body type, personal preference and riding style.Can anyone offer a comparison of the Middlechild to a Canfield Yelli Screamy?

It was the only hardtail 29er that didn’t ride like one, and proved that a lightweight, efficient mile-muncher could still make you smile on the descents.
