would lowering the front...

The front of my bike is lowered like half an inch. Does anyone know how that affects wheelies and stopies?

Re: would lowering the front...

anytime you lower a bike rather it be the front or the back you are lowering the center of gravity below the pivot point of a stoppie/wheelie which would be the axel causing it to need more force to get the bike to wheelie or stoppie. also when lowering the bike you are changing the rake/trail of the bike which changes how the bike handles over all and can cause stability issues while rolling a stoppie.

Ok thanks, I figured it would be something like that I just didn't understand it good enough. It was lowered when I bought it I guess I'll raise it back up this weekend.
