Holy stanchions BATMAN
looks awseome for wheelying around smoking gange on tho 😉
You know when comparing bar height of two bikes you need to do it from BB. Not the ground? 😉
and you do want a stiff fork that doesn’t dive deep into it’s travel. so yeah. lots of air in ’em. but no you don’t need tons of compression damping (adjust damping to taste, AFTER you’ve set up the spring stiffness). rebound to taste also. (I’d er on the side of faster rather than slower)
If the BB height isn’t too high and the HA isn’t too slack and the bars genuinely aren’t too high. they def look it 😉 that long (160mm travel) axle to crown is fine. even if it does look terrible 😉
always adjust bar height/roll for comfort standing on the pedals. pedals level. you wan them to feel neutral really. One key thing to learning good jumping technique is actually having a really neutral (but strong) position when hitting the lip.
FWIW I tend to like around a 12.5″ BB (with 2.2 DJ tyres) and 68-69deg HA on mine.
