I'm curious if anyone has used their DOC for racing. I was playing on a Slalom track at Sand Hill Ranch in Livermore, CA and I was having a hard time in the bermed corners.
I know the DOC has a higher than usual BB height since it was designed to work with 24" wheels, but when I came home and measured it, it measured out to be 14" inches. (damn that's high!)
I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the DJ 1 fork I'm running, as Marzocchis are notorious for having a tall axel to crown measurement. But damn! For comparison's sake, my Giant AC1 has a 13.25 bb height, and that was measured unsprung, + it has 6 inches of travel!
The bike rides killer other than that. I guess I can get a different fork with a shorter axle to crown and run it in the shortest travel mode.. that should help. Any suggestions?
