This was already a 15–min read but one interesting thing about the 152 I could have added is that the suspension itself works well (support / efficiency) with much more sag that the recommended window. I climbed it up single track with a range from 22% to an extreme of 40% sag in playing with the suspension setup.
Where there comes an issue is BB height. I suspect that some combination of over-forking and an external headset cup and maxing tire size could have folks enjoying this machine in the 30% sag range. I ended up running 25% rear with 20% front.
