josh-clifton (May 9, 2011 at 22:27)

And take the rasta tape off for lightweight

ambrogino (May 9, 2011 at 23:15)

8, and there is nil collision on bottom out, and ive taken the rasta off the seat post, that is all

i also had the intense tires on when i weighed it aswell

Must be a way smaller i2i to lower it that much. My proper short shock only lowered my bb .45"

ambrogino (May 10, 2011 at 22:15)

it must be, but it definitely is over an inch lower, the fork i think slightly lowers it a bit to but you would hardly notice that

brandonf (May 10, 2011 at 23:26)

So being that the stock bb height is 14.2", youre saying that your bb height is right around 13"?

ambrogino (May 11, 2011 at 3:51)

my ones original height was 14.5 and i can tell by eye against my mates glory(same model and year) that its atleast an inch lower, when i get a chance with a ruler and our bikes together though i could tell exact.
i believe its somewhere between 13 and 13.5

How did you manage to lower the bb a full inch?

josh-clifton (May 9, 2011 at 18:07)

He put a shorter shock on.

josh-clifton (May 29, 2011 at 4:11)

Put a proper shock on
