That is an area of bikes where I think technology has a lot to offer still.

Found an answer!!! Smile

Just an update for people searching this thread for answers. I changed one thing on this setup and now i can do manuals way easier and hops easier and my tricks are all looking and feeling better. I changed the tyres and tubes and chain for lighter weight BUT what really helped was I "pushed my bars foreward in the stem so that they now lean slightly foreward from parralell with the steer tube, instead of leaning slightly back towards me like it used to be. This change took getting used to. About a week. But the difference is honestly unreal, i feel so much more capable on my wheels Big Grin

Very cool when you find a little tweak that works for you.
