Thanks for the advice, Mike. I like the idea of going down to Vegas and check out the riding down there during winter up here. It seems like my Butler maps have a few pavement rides down there.

Any one have an answer about lowering the forks? (20 MM - not 20 cm!)

Being I'm 6'3" I raised the rear instead of lowering the front to gain the change in angle.
I really couldnt tell you if it improved anything, I didnt notice any changes.
But with me wanting to occasionally hit a dirt road I did not want to lower anything.
Mike
