i'm running the large and it feels great on the dh trails at mammoth. a bit more wheel base might be nice in some spots, but it would make things feel worse in the corners.yes. i agree.
yours is a medium, mine is a small. so the sketch factor is even higher up for me, think. i scared myself more then a few times at diablo - but at the same time it was my first time there, first time on a fully, and my brakes were wacky.
i just need to get comfy with stayin waaay back on the bike and keeping loose.
i am kinda shocked at how much effort it takes to get the front end up. not that it takes tons, but more than i would have expected.
