Finally got some good riding on the big hit(loops baby!!), like it a lot, currious about the shock settings though. I was running it on what it came set up in, 66deg head angle, with 8.1 inch travel. Hit a few pedals being the only complaint. Any one like the 68deg head angle with 8.1inch?? I am gonna give it a try, but i wont be able to for a while. Just curious what the concensus is, if there is one. :???:

I'm on east coast usa and I ran mine on A with bad results. I was jumping on a fast dh run and bottomed the crank (near the bb not the pedal) against a rock hard and went down. I have since switched to C and have not had any hits as bad. I'm running profiles and I had to replace the spindle because I've bent it so bad smacking my cranks.

Lots of riddin rust is likely more the problem your right. Never considered the loss of stand over hight though. I am only pushin 5'9" so that is some thing to consider.

I've been ridin' mine in the "A" position as well.... but just cuz it came that way, and cuz i trust the peeps @ dizzy :D

Seems to work pretty good for the shore, although i'm smokin' the pedals too... but maybe thats just my crappy riding style more than the setting ;)

Would like to mess around with the other positions one day tho

Is this the best setup for Whistler?
