Do any of you feel the BB height is too low..I am running 170mm cranks and always seem to be hitting them ....I even have my 888 raked out and still seems to low.

I love the BB height on my Fly. I run the 888 and lowrider crowns. I do run a 11.25 Avy in the rear which does help the BB height. What is your BB height right now? Mine is 14 7/8", which is perfect. Remember you are riding a 8" travel bike.

When I had my Fly, I had 170mm cranks as well. Only on occaision would I hit stuff (i'm not the smoofest rider out there) - and its rooty out here in the PacNW.

Like Kanter asked, what's your BB height right now?

OOPPS. I take that back. The BB height was 14 7/8. Now that I have the low rider crowns on, the BB height is 14 1/2. It is perfect now. The lowrider crowns make it feel better. I just put EC 70 bars on with 1.25 rise. I did have Protapers with 2" rise. The lower bars seem to feel a little better too.
