How much does the longer chainstay affect manuals?

Longer stays take more effort to lock in the manual as far as leaning back goes. You're likely going to be setting the front end down a lot more often than looping out when you're first starting to try and get the feel of it. However, pumping wise, you still have to find your "sweet spot" regardless. It just takes time figuring out how much you need to pump or pull on the bars. That goes for practically any bike when it comes to manuals.

*Edit- Sorry if that question was directed specifically at brett236.

If it's of any consolation, my race rig has a 14.5" chainstay length when slammed and I used to ride 14.25" stays on my Redline. Wink
