Balance

Put the 4" rockers on El Capitan and swapped the Pushed Fox for a plain old (old) Float RC. Also shortened the stem to 80mm.

HTA slackens 1 degree or so. BB drops 0.5" (now 13.75).

Immediately, this bike feels more balanced.

Did a quick urban ride around the streets/lawns/landscaping, and it feels really great.

This should come as no surprise because this is how Sherwood designed this thing to handle anyway. I can't wait to get some trail time on this set up because it feels like a fast, nimble, stable all around XC performer.
