I'd perserve with it for a while before making the change, try the butt cheek shuffle to get a foot down when coming to a stop, works wonders for the balance skills , ps i'm a 31" inside leg, as that its the one that counts , and can managed to paddle ok with trail boots on . Note if new the suspension does soften and sag more after a few miles running in.




OK Mac, thanks for the advice.I'm 31" inside leg too, and can paddle about (just). I can make a few variants and try them out first. Even the metal mule ones lower things about half an inch I'm told and cost �20 pr pair. I was thinking of going from 125 ctrs to 140mm to pull it down 15mm or so. As you say however, with the miles a bit of sag can be expected so I'll persevere for now.
I'm in Gatesheed too bonny lad, so if I pass a blue'un and you pass a black'un lets give each other a thumbs up,eh!!?
