Since I saw a post on bike sizing for tall guys I thought I would share my 2011 Trek Cobia XXL and all the mods I had to do to it over the years.

    36spoke sub ringle mtx 33 rims with hope pro hubs. 32 spoke rims constantly needed truing.

    Thomson setback see post for more cockpit room and post strength. I bent my previous post.

    Wider selle royal seat for my wider sit bones

    203mm rotors front and back with Shimano saint brakes. May need to go to 220mm on the front

    35mm handlebar diameter and 80mm rise deity bars

    Ergon grips for my big hands.

    Converted the original 3×9 to a 2×10 a while back. Raceface turbine cranks 175mm length. Shimano XT shifters and rear cassette.

    Release the original quick release front and back with larger DT Swiss thru bolts

    The only original parts are the frame, fork, and headset.
