Bad news: I've done some calculations, and the 4 inches I'd like to add takes the trail geometry out a little farther than what is considered optimal. I've already bought a rear tire that is about one inch taller than stock. It will raise the rear axle by about 1/2 inch. But it would be best to raise the rear another 1-1/2" to get the trail back in line, and also I wouldn't mind having the ground clearance anyways.


If you do a frame downtube stretch you can keep the trail reasonable. That raises the neck so the rake doesn't change as much as a neck rake would.

Bikers Choice  or Dime City for cheap shocks.
For what this bike is used for mainly, Bikers Choice 12.5" work fine.
Cheers,  Cool
