my mate rides that setup and he loves it. I tried it and found the head angle way too slack but thats because I'm used to JuniorT's with less travel! Not much useful info but it has been done and he is impressed with how it rides. He says its like riding with a taller boxxer...

looks like he is running 24s, I run the same set-up(minus the 888), I was told that the geometry with 888 and 24s would be the same as a jr. t and 26". Is that true??? Any more feedback your friend could give would be awesome. Like the ride looks sweet!!!

Later

The bighit I run has 24 rear and 04 jnr.t and the head angle to me feels a lot steeper. Don't know whether its me or it actually is steeper. When he first got the 888's a few months back he put them nxt to my forks and they were like 3 or 4 inch higher. I should be getting some time on it in the next few weeks cos I'm borrowing it cos my shock is having a service. I'll get back 2 ya
