3cm of spacers and a 8.5cm stem on measuring. Not sure of pressures tbh, just set up for sag(and obv not enough on front)
oh and 18" frame and 174cm height.
I will lower tyre pressure and increase fork sag see how that goes, then experiment a bit more on the spacers. It does feel like the front is too tall and i can't control what it's doing at times. less spacers i think.
WRT position, thinking about it i tend to let my weight slip back on fast sweeping bends, prob a bad habit more noticeable when i hit rock. So much as i hate to admit it, at times a lazy riding style is prob as much to blame as the other things. I think with my hard tail- 19" orange E8 with 80mm rebas and shorter stem i'm forced forward over the bars.
Also too busy trying to just get out and ride it as much as possible and not enough time playing with he set up.
Thanks all.
