Flipped my stem, feels better a bit higher. Might still need a top loader though, challenger in silver would be nice.

Swapped from a 33T to a 36T on my FBM as 33/11 is terrible.

Did that going UP the lip of a jump. Best dead sailor ever.

I took two runs at the jumps yesterday. First run, first jump, I break my cranks.
Second run, playing around on a friends bike, I looped out on the rollers so hard that I bruised my thigh with the bars. Strait to the back of my head. I think my feet didn't even get off the pedals.
Subrosa cranks?

With enough lube and brute force, anything is possible.

Nice. It helps that bike a lot to have a slightly taller front end. Try playing with your bar angle too. Start with them inline with the forks, then move forward 1/8" at a time to feel the differences.

Do you reckon a higher rise bar would make it even better or does a top loader and another spacer under the stem give enough extra height for it to feel its best?

_tom_ I am running regular 8" tall S&M Slams on my wife's Model-C, and they seem to be a good height. Although I am running a front loader on it, so it is probably similar height to yours with the flipped stem and stock Sunday bars.
