Re:Air Ride 8 Months ago
I'll make longer tins, I want to keep the look. I'd rather rake the neck and keep the trail (or increase it because of the rake), than to have to crank my neck bearings tight to compensate for losing a large percentage of the trail. I'm not even sure I'll rake it out. 10 degrees sounds like alot, but with longer forks and a 21 Raider wheel up front, it would look interesting. Paul
