I'm just curious if there are any problems with having a 44" front width and a 47" rear wheel base width? My new Hipers really narrowed the front end b/c of the offset. When I was riding it it seems to want to ride on three wheels more in the turns then before. I haven't ridden in 6 months so maybe I'm just imagining things. I have 1" spacers on my rear axle so I take them out and be closer to 45" in the rear if you guys think that is a better setup. Thanks for your input folks...

I would remove the rear spacers. I had mine wider in the rear than the front and I also noticed that it caused the front end to push in the turns.

def. ditch the rear spacers.

my rear end is actually about an inch narrower than my front. i like to know when i'm flyin thru the trees that i'm good at the back as long as the front end fits

Everytime I see a post from you I hear Jeffro in the back of my head going, "Bbbrraaaaaddd!" - while he's looking down the side of that cliff you just rode off of!
