i'm pretty sure it's more for keeping the bike straight up(horizontally) and not leaning right/left (by making the tire more 'flat').. don't think it helps much for keeping the bike up vertically..

If you only go down to about 20-25 its not to bad. It does get a little twitchy if you lean over a ways but its not uncontrolable.

So at 25 you might call it a happy medium? I ride the canyon's and run the edge but want to start doing some wheelies but don't want ot have to keep messin with it.
i have time to read these days while waiting for parts to put it back together.

Whats the best tire pressure (bars not psi) for endos. I can roll them alright (45feet) but when i get them high up the bike tends to wobble and **** like that, gets kinda twitchy. Hard to explain.
