Just want to know from the demo user in this forum, in which geometry (low BB/ High BB) you are using in your Demo?

I'm running it in high setting now, and I found the bike become more ridable, and absolutely better steering, and it goes fast. With the low setting originally came, I just felt it was too slacken, and painful to steer.

Mind share your experience?

I have the same question!
I'm running it at high bb setting right now.
But shouldn't slacker geo make the bike more stable?

where the shock attache's at the frame shuttle,undo the 5 bolt's including shock bolt and spin your shuttle 180 degree's and put it back in.

you don't need to rotate the shock either.

I thought you should put the left one to the right, and the right one to the left, in order to change geometry.

i use my demo for lift assisted runs only...i prefer the low bb as i like the weight low for cornering and stability...

no it has to be rotated,as it is at off angle's if that makes any sense.

basically all it does is move the mounting of the shock upward's and backward's slightly because of the slope.

as you can see the gap between the pro pedal knob is also larger,for me it justy feel's better although when i did have it in low bb the spring was to soft so probabley didn't help the feel,come the summer i will try it in low bb and see.

Yeah, that's right.
But I'm sure you have to switch sides when you put them up side down.Beer

just some people might switch side's without flipping them either.
