Goodaye Phat Head & Others
I posted before with only one response - sorry to hassle again.
Just picked up an 04 Slayer 50 - what a stunner!!
No probs getting the Fox Vanilla up front to my liking - but would like some advise re propedal on the rear.
FWIW - i weigh about 12 stone, about 5' 9" size 18 bike.
Should i set the sag MORE than the old standard rule of 1/4 of shaft travel and let the propedal do its work on the climbs and acceleration? Any suggestions on rebound - i usually just twist the knob till it feels about right. My previous ride ('dale Jekyll) i had set up reasonably stiff - i liked it like that.
I'm not a free ride mad man, more an aggresive trail rider. I still like good uphill and acceleration performance.
To all of you - continue to enjoy and promote this most excellent sport!
cheers, Jawry
p.s the hutchies seem to get bad reviews - look to me to be a perfect match. Big volume, aggresive tread, low weight - the perfect tire?
