I'm fairly new to mountain riding. I primarily ride a Khaos 155" in the Sierras. Nursing shoulder problems has kept me from advancing as well as I'd like.
I weigh a 140# without gear FWIW.
I think I'd benefit from a longer track relative to my tunnel. Too much stuck time which I attribute more to lack of skill than anything else.
Debating between shortening the tunnel (permanent) vs running a 163" track & a 155" tunnel (temporary).
ZRP just released a rail extension bracket to allow one to run a 163. $200 for this item. The other option is $450 for ice age rails.
Both would require new hyfax and track, obviously. Any thing else needed?
Extensions would be less work and cash especially if I go back to 155.
New rails would be lighter...
Any opinions on these two options?
Thanks in advance.
