I think that ive made my desision to go for the cannondale prophet as my do it all bike (trail, short travel dh, jumping but not dirt).
so.... what are the differences between the two other than the 12mm back end? Id like the qr for compatability with wheels(swaps when i want to do st dh) but if that means sacrificing a whole load of strength then i would go for the mx and does anyone have any weight figures?
id also quite like to try some 4x on this and was wondering if itd be possible to drop a shorter shock in to give around 4/4.5" of travel(wind down the forks to similar) withought effecting geo too much (obveously the bb would drop) will the back end lengthen out? i heard that they have a shortening swingarm rather than a lengthening if so that would be ideal.
Also concidering that i want it to be realy chuckable what size would you reccomend for a 5'10/11" rider?
oh and is there a price difference?
