i've got a new rear shock which gives 8" on the rear
just replaced the seals in the rear brake and bearings on the man pivot point near the seat
Tell me what you think

BB height is a little high for me, how does it corner now compaired to the old shock?

[skank racing]

i bought it with the new rear shox but my mate has same bike with the stock shox on it.
It seems to corner alright i dont notice the difference between the two though

[RuDeZ]

hows it feel with 8 inches on the rear and only 6 on the front

[Rik]

i dont notice the difference between the two though :eek: Fair enough, you can always compensate with your riding style, but those angles look crook.

[juzzo]

**nice** that 8inch spring really gives it a flat head angle and a high BB.

Wow :eek: mother fucker thats a high bottom bracket, i guess u dont need to worry about scraping the bashie on rocks and shit yeh!?
Anywho it looks pretty nice with that shock. :)
