jT Racing:





this is what i use to do street/park tricks and jumps. Thing is, i find it a bit front heavy for my feeling. It's a webco with redline forks, dk inverted stem, gt/profile 3 piece, 44/16, sun rims with revcore hubs. Is it the inverted stem that is making it feel like the front end is miles away? it weighs bugger all but when i do a hop, it's about 10 inches lower than
 on my kuwi laser. does not make any sense to me.

aditup2004:
I'd say a shorter stem, and pull the bars back so they are in straight line with the forks. The "XL" stem is what is making front heavy. But, that said and done, I know fook all. Ad  :daumenhoch:

BrianP:
yep, ad's advice is pretty close to what i'd be suggesting too.

was also writing here that i'd suggest flipping the stem, b4 i noticed that it's actually a shafted one. DOH! that'll not work... ;)

Some nice Mid-school bits on that bike! Bars back, seat down sure you'll feel the difference.

Lazarou:
.....and maybe go for a regular shorter stem (that one is at least an XL)
