Mine handles terribly with 160mm 36s. Much better on 130mm.

Hmmm - so maybe Pikes or Rev's are the way to go. Choices choices....

I know a shop in Ireland that has a large frame in trans red. I could pass on the contact details if you wish.

I leave my AM SLs in 160mm mode all the time on my 4X. Handles brilliantly.

Hijacking I know but if anyone wants similar handling/geo to the 4x and is short on cash heres an option. I did it and it rocks...

Take one cheap old 2005-6 Santa Cruz Heckler and put a shorter 190 x 50mm shock on it rather than the standard 200 x 57mm.

You end up with 5" of travel. BB at 12.8 and a head angle of 66-67 with 140mm RS Revs.

I've started a new thread- it came in this afternoon from Spitalfields. On the psi- I'm reckon 160 for a 95kg rider with 25% sag?

See here: http://www.santacruzbikes.co.uk/bicycles/blur4x.html under shock set-up guide. Assuming it's got a Fox shock on it 160psi would suit a 72kg rider. I'm ~95kg with a big breakfast in me, more with clothes & Camelbak the SC recommendation for me is ~210psi. I run mine at ~200psi and it's good. Much lower than that and it's too wallowy.

True, otherwise it would be 5mins and a few barcadi breezers. Sorted.
