Funny you should mention the riser height. I was running a 5.5" riser on my proclimb and on my new sled with the riot spindles the 4.5" feels good. I suppose raising the front of the sled a little pushes the bars up/back some.cool, so mountain side are about the 1.5 as advertised, bmp 1.75 and ice age 2" then.
i rode yesterday, immediately threw 15 pounds more air in FTS main chamber, than another 10. much better after that. Almost a 50% increase in "preload" as i ran before. hard to tell if i should go even a little more, riding a foot of dry powder over jeep ruts, i was all over the place. I also have 1/4" homemade spacers under my SLP saddles that probably dont need to be there now. also thinking going back to stock 4.5" riser whereas the 5.5 was perfect before.
Hey CO 2 have you had a chance to compare the two spindles (backwoods vs iceage) on the snow? Pros cons?I think only the ice age are a full 2". Just got the BMP backwoods spindles, they look 1/2" or more lower than the ice age. Ill mount them this week and compare the two. If they are I might drop my back rear skid back to the stock hole.
AwesomeI feel the bmp steered easier. But they are weaker. I bent one last weekend, but didn't bend the lower a arm. With ice age the a arm bends first. Other than those things, it's hard to tell a difference in performance. Probably negligible. Might be different in stiffer snow, if was deep out.
Yea I also feel the BMP spindles make for a "heavy" steering and less playful front end even with playing with shock pressures.I'm gonna take back what I said on steering. I rode my sled today with an ice age spindle on one side and BMP on the other. The ice age spindle steered easier. It's a better setup. I was putting the sled on one ski and flipping the steering back and forth in pow and doing turns. The BMP felt harder to steer when it had weight on it
