[QUOTE="TurtleShifter, post: 145269, member: 217"] I put on a set of 22mm offset triples. I would move the forks up a little bit at a time to see how it would change the handling characteristics. I could never find a position that would eliminate how "twitchy" the bike had become. I knew going from a 25mm offset to a 22mm offset would make it turn more responsive but DAMN, to me, it has made the bike almost unrideable. Too unpredictable when climbing hills, it deflects a lot more/easier. Same thing when going down hills. So the experiment is to see if it is just mental or real. I was trying to get the bike to not push through corners but as the saying goes, you can't always buy talent. I prolly need to experiment with moving the forks up/down in the stock triples to see if that would help first. Then start to look at tires a d tire pressure.... [/QUOTE]
