Definately agree with Nismo. Attack technical terrain and get your chin out over the stem. Whatever setup you run is personal preference. There's no single way to do it. Nice bike Nismo, but I have to admit from an aesthetic perspectve the bars look kinda funny rolled that far forward. Also, how'd you keep your chainstay protector in one piece after all that riding? Mine shredded in after a while.
I have a medium and run a 55 mm stem, i switched the havocs to renthal 20mm, almost perfect settup, lets me play on thr bike and really hang it off the back. And lets me put alotttaa pressure in the front. Point n case, lets me rail corners and get loose

Thank you....I really like the Operator was never a Kona fan until I rode this bike. The bars are actually just under vertical pulled back but the pics do make them and the levers look weird. I get shit from friends to but I just hand them my bike and tell them to take it up for a run....and so far everyone comes back saying how good the front end feels.
I put some thick velcro tape under it then put the kona wrap around that seems to help it from shredding as bad but the one pictured is my third one I keep running it over the velcro because it keeps the chain quite when hitting rock gardens, braking bumps and drops to flat
Try some mastic tape (Water proof electrical tape) on the chain & seat stays...works wonders and you won't have to keep buying new covers constantly.
Yeah that works great to just like the "fuzzy" side of velcro. I have used both it seems velcro quits down the chain slap better and I like not hearing it that's why I still run the cover over it. luckily I got them for free so I'm not to worried about it.
I forgot to add I cut my chains shorter then standard as I never use my lowest gear/s. If you don't you can run your chain tighter eliminating some of the chain bounce in the higher gears. Just make sure your derailleur has wrap left in it when suspension is fully bottomed.

Ill take a pic of the wizard mastic job I did on my op heat gun+mastic+double layered mastic= quitest, neatest, and trouble free chain protection. it will blow your mind

Sounds prime, I'd live in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz or anywhere between if I could afford it For now I'll be satisfied living 2.5 hours away from Whistler
