Not to sound like couch but I'd imagine Q factor may play a part too

Was Erik Elstran mucking around when he used to say he was gay in his videos?

Another idea along the lines of longer stem/TT, lower bars would be a lower BB too
Having said that, I wouldn't rule out technique, particularly if you find yourself touching down further down the landing. A lot of people new to trails or who have hard crazy crashes early on have an automatic apprehension of nosing landings. Part of the reason I hate doing airs on a quarter still to this day is that I had a few hard nose cases (and have the chipped teeth to match) on a dirt quarter I used to ride. When I got the chance to ride real trails in the 90's I was quite concerned about it, particularly because trails got bigger and steeper and were gnarlier than the jumps at the local race track I was used to. To help allay this I learnt to nose bonk smaller tables - basically you intentionally dip the front end on the way over so that your front wheel rolls along the top a bit, and then you lift it up again quickly before the landing. Maybe, if apprehension is your caper, that might help

Good question Garth. I remember George commenting on it but I don't remember what he said apart from him saying that you could return faulty chrome rims, which I never did

I remember every man and his dog had 7x back in the day, but they couldn't hack much. I don't remember anyone commenting about Himikos. What that means I dunno
Still fond of haz lites as a budget rim but the chrome is no good. Some people seem to get lucky, but I gave away like 4 of them because of the chrome failing
These days I just run ano rims and save myself the anguish

The Bike Shop / Re: aluminum bb spacer idea thingy
« on: January 01, 2018, 02:00:26 AM »
Those bushings that you odn't use a tube spacer with have some serious issues. If you have pinch bolt cranks, your sprocket will move on the spindle and the bolt will come undone. If you don't have pinch bolt cranks, your crank arms will move on the spindle and the spindle bolts will come undone too. Not to mention that without a tube spacer, dropping the bike on the cranks/pedals is no good for the bushing/bearing on that side of the BB...
