After getting more and more into DH racing I'm starting to notice little things that I never really cared about before. Recently, I've been thinking about removing two 1/4 spacers between my headset and upper crown, thus lowering my bars by about 1/2 an inch. My thinking is that this will slightly lower my center of gravity and transfer more weight forward potentially providing more front wheel traction for cornering. My concern is that this my make it more difficult to lift my front end up or that perhaps there is a reason that my bike has two spacers between the headset and upper crown?
Opinions/commets. Is a good idea/bad or just personal preference?
Bike setup:Vpfree, 888 w/flat crowns, and cane kreek headset. Goal: to set bike up best for DH racing.
current floor to grip height 42 3/4", BB height 15 1/4"(no sag) or 13" (w/sag)
