OK, here are two photos (click for bigger) showing the standover height for the 25″ (effective top tube) and 24″ (ETT) Jones Plus versions. Standover isn’t everything – there’s a lot more in Jones Geometry – but these are useful for people wanting to get an idea of how they might stand astride a Plus.

By Jones Bicycles|January 7th, 2015|

OK, we often get messages from customers. They seem to like what I’m doing. How I see cycling. And we get reviews too, sometimes from large established publications and sometimes from smaller outfits. I’ve collected a few here that I’ve seen recently. Tests and mentions and customer comments…

Firstly a mention on Dirty Pages. If […]

H-bars at WEMBO…

By Jones Bicycles|October 30th, 2014|

I got a letter from Mark in the UK recently…

I just wanted to let you know that about a month ago I bought a set of Jones H-bars for my single speed (Pivot Les) to race at the World 24hr solo mountain bike champs in Scotland last weekend. The bars were amazing, so so […]

Plus – 29 – EBB adjustment benefits

By Jones Bicycles|October 15th, 2014|

The EBB on the Jones Plus ensures that if a rider switches between 29+ tires and standard 29er tires they can adjust their position on the bike to keep the bottom bracket height and pedal clearance the same. They don’t have to ride lower with the smaller tires, with pedal strikes more likely. The […]
