MR GP....
Your post about lowering the subframe is fine. It will help some riders feel more comfortable, and many of the riders on the team do use this mod. I've run it myself and personaly like it. (no that my riding opinion means much, as I'm a slow rider..)
Whats really intresting is the new 2002 works and SXS will use a longer travel shock with almost 20mm of negative travel.. The bike actually can be taller in some set-up situtations. I recomend for bikes that need to be shorter more than an Inch that the rider also modify the shaft travel. When done in ballance with the front the bike will still work very well.
Something allso important. Kelly Smith did not run "stock" Suspension for the forstroke series... He had SXS lowers and what looked like the triple bushing upper tube. Perhaps you should consult with real WP experts, (Such as FC, CRS, or others..) when you gather your information.
Regards,
Jer
