I am sure sure this has all been asked before but....
1. Can you run wheel spacers on the back. I realize this would not be perfect but my rear axle is still in good shape. So can I put on a 1 or 1.5 inch spacer and get the added stability?
2. I have seen a few bikes with their front wheels reversed so that the larger offset is to the outside to make the front end wider. IS that ok?
3. Considering a rider weight of 175 lbs. What should I do the the original shocks, front and rear. What I mean is should I set the fronts as stiff as possible or as weak as possible. And what can I do in the back?
Thanks for any input my son is going to start MXing next weekend.
