    Does stem height affects difficulty of pulling manuals?

    Hey guys, Lately i've been practicing manuals, but still find them pretty hard to pull. I know it's all about body weight between you and the bike, the theory i know it all. I also know with full suspension bike it's harder to achieve. Same for longer stems... I have a stumpy evo with a...

    how to manual? Yes sorry its dumb but i'm trying to understand my bike setup...

    good point... i might be pushing i bit too far from my skills trying to learn something above my limits... it might be a good idea and step back a bit and try to master the little things and step gradually in to harder stuff... i have some training videos that i was following, and pretty much...

    how to manual? Yes sorry its dumb but i'm trying to understand my bike setup...

    cool, yeah still working on the wheelie, sometimes i can some not, but can't maintain much of a balance for long... to be honest the reason i want to learn the manual, is more like of a need as an important skill to have on the trail, for bunny hopping obstacles and coming down of places, most...

    how to manual? Yes sorry its dumb but i'm trying to understand my bike setup...

    yeah, thats a good tip, film myself and compare to see what is wrong... i've ordered a 90mm stem but not thinking about manuals its more to improve my position on the bike, since i'm feeling a bit stretched out and forward on the bars, specially on downhills and tricky sections on the tracks. i...

    Thanks nickdos, but the though of pulling my shock apart is a bit scary for me... never done it before since that is my first full susp bike... still trying to get my head around it... have you done it? is it a hard thing to do? or maybe better to take it back to the bike shop and get them to do...
