Anyone have experience of wheelbase-adjustable bikes? Do you find it makes much difference?
Just realised I can run a comp 32 up back (WOOT! ) if I turn my dropout spacers around to give me a 12mm (1/2") longer wheelbase (this is on a DHi).
How much difference is 12mm going to make? I think the bike has a really short wheelbase in either configuration (measured at 44.5" and 45" - how does that compare to other DH rigs?)
Don't want to make it too long for the tight technical stuff, and have never felt "unstable" in the short wheelbase setting. Never run it long.
The bike's in pieces at the moment so I wont have the chance to ride it until I get to the Alps next week.
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaappppp!
