nice ride. so I ride short top tube bike size small but not XS no more. I also have a big riser bar. they ride tight and they are nervus. I have to hold on tight to the bars. they are mostly on trail jump bikes. it easyer to pull the nose up for hops at the lip of the jump. insperation from bmx bike geo into a mtn bike. those bike are agyle but not forgiven, no off line landing or it skid. it take a while to get used to it but you never go back to longer tube. to jump those bike demand more body mouvement. longer size frame on jumps case or overshoot landing. but they have better padaling motion. those small bikes are slow but comfortable to pedal. my is a short hardtail whit travel and I just got a new frame a small tr250. there is travel adjustement on this frame to make it smooth..check it out will723

I'm thinking about getting a bit longer frame, 3-4cm. My Wildcard is so nervous that when I change the rear travel (and geometry) I can't ride it
I had 17" Kona Coiler and it was waaay more stable. The truth is it didn't jump like WC, when airborn, it fricking rocks!

Yeah, but I don't want a DH rig. I'm looking for something more stable which can jump and take me for an all day epic adventure at the same time I survived a couple of 80-100km trips on my Banshee. It has only two flaws for me: it's too short and I'd like some more travel. Nothing more

you want the best of both world into one bike, hard to find. your going to have to do some compromise on the style of your bike I think. maybe two bikes. I am staying on the junps side for the style and easy going state of mind of the riders. dont want to pedal for ever. I ride about 24km every ride maybe twice as long whit my new ride.

Idze, idze z takim siodłem. 
Dobrze, że nie Selle Royal Classic. 
O kołach mocniejszych nie myślisz?

Siodło kolorystycznie odstaje, ale na żywo wygląda super. Koła są w planach, bo Single swoje już przeżyły - tył ma bicie góra-dół od niedolotu, ale się nie poddaje. Przód prosty jak nówka. Marzą mi się Spanki albo Atomlaby. Zobaczymy co się trafi w zimie Coś polecasz?

Atomlaby pancerne, Spanki podobno nie lubią luźnych kamieni i łapią wgnioty. Powiem Ci, że nie ma pancernych obręczy nie do zajechania. Ja zajechałem Mavica 325 Disc, Supre BH (obie na łączeniach), i ostro 729 pogniotłem. Teraz mam Mavic'i D3.1 (stare 823 UST) i jestem bardzo zadowolony. W ogóle polecam przesiadkę na bezdętki, najlepiej w systemie Tubless Ready (opona zwijana+ obręcz bezdętkowa lub oklejona taśmą i Caffelatex). Zestaw super i mega oszczędność wagi. A spokojnie na 1,5 bara można śmigać. . Z takich obręczy np ZTR Flow lub ZTR Flow EX (mocniejszy) lub właśnie 823.
