2016 Niner RIP 9 |
2016 Niner Air 9 RDO |
| Description |
Since the market appeared to be abandoning the 26er platform, it seemed like I should move to a bigger wheel while there was still value in my Santa Cruz. So when I saw this Niner frame on sale, I jumped on it in July 2016. |
In May 2017 I decided to upgrade my hardtail to get at tapered steerer so I can upgrade the fork. I also moved to a thru-axle so the wheels would be interchangeable across both my mountain bikes. I was not looking to get another Niner, but I know they fit me and I found a deal for over half off so I could not pass it up.
