I've just got my SB7 brand new. I need to modify to decrease the weight?

Also I find it too high for my height. I'm 5ft 2inch. I heard somewhere that you could adjust something somewhere to achieve this.

Anyone has any experience?

Thanks in advance.

cheers.

Hi

While you can often modify the suspension on a bike to lower it, expect it to upset the handling. You need to lower the front and the back by the same amount to avoid too many problems, but then will probably need harder springs to stop the suspension bottoming out and that might well upset things for a lighter rider the rest of the time.

All the best

Hi

Daytona make a bike boot (mainly aimed at ladies) with a built in but fairly well disguised 2.5cm extra bit of height. Daytona Lady Star GTX.

Depending on the size of your feet / shape of you calf then you might find them suitable. And they seem to do them in normal colours.

All the best
