Would love to get some opinions on what to do suspension wise with my Levo SL Comp, I've owned and ridden it for 3 months now in stock config with the intention to upgrade for next summer. My goal with the upgrades is to get the bike more bikepark capable (i.e. Dyfi, not my local but steep, big black jumps and harsh landings are my jam)
So front end considering going 170mm with a 38 stantion ( I weigh 100kg so figure a stiffer fork would go well for me. And considering pairing that fork with a 27.5 carbon front wheel. To balance out the geo change from the added fork while also keeping the front end stiffer and lighter (would likely put headset into 65 degree setting too) Thoughts? Anyone tried such a thing? FYI I would buy a 27.5 specific fork so lowers would be shorter,not sure by how much though ( good deals on em at the moment)
For the rear. I ride mullet and would keep it that way. If going bigger on the front probably would make sense to beef up the back with a 160mm cascade link and maybe an X2 or Vivid? Would mostly likey do this later though after if settled into the front end.
