Always a joy to watch these vids.

Love watching your videos.. Great information.. This is helping me with my race bike build, I’m using lots of the same things you use… Great job.

[@Delboysparody]

Great to hear a clear explanation.

[@claretbuck1882]

Good progress made bud 👍🏻

[@jamest5149]

Awesome. Thanks 👍

Hey, I'm wondering what what effect pf raising the bike 1 to 2 inches would be. I'd be doing it for ground clearance. Would the bike retain its steering and stability? XD From just a road riding perspective.

[@xtralight1]

You place the bike like that, without tires and wheels, to have the front and rear axles at the same height from the ground?

[@neevesybikes]

It's to let the wheels and suspension hang under their own weight, so you can measure ride heights.

[@johnedwardmcgladdery5071]

Which chassis program do you use?

[@neevesybikes]

We don't have anything a complex as that. It's all I can do to switch the bike on nowadays!

[@toddgalley4900]

What brand peg stands are those?

[@neevesybikes]

I think they're Harris Performance

Or, you can do what I do and just put your bike on a rear stand, grab your top yoke, place your other hand on the back of the seat and push down hard a few times. If the front and rear feel similar you're good to go! Of course I'm only a pretend racer who just likes sliding his knee and scrubbing the rear tire to the edge.

What's a track rider stand a chance. So complexed
