Hey guys, I've just picked up a giant stp that I want to use for 4X and hopefully race the PMB world cup if we get it back like it has been promised next year and I've got a few questions. I'm no stranger to downhill bike set up but 4x has me puzzling a bit. Right now the squishy important bits on the bike are as follows: stp frame, DJ2's, XT brakes and kenda k-rads.
Anyways, what forks should i look at? I'm looking for something lightish but should also handle the DJ's when I'm not racing. I was thinking of going for a pike? What travel range should it be in? 100mm?
What about tires? Small block 8's?
Any other tips guys have? I see Jared runs spacers under his stem to raise his bars a bit? Is that standard practice or just personal preference? Any other tips? Or am I being painful?
Thanks
