I have a 2006 demo 8 which has an A and B setting for the frame geometry. Where do most people set the shock position? I have mine set on low which gives a lower bottom bracket [HTML_REMOVED] slacker fork. i haven't tried the other setting yet.

its printed right on the frame what each position gives the bike..

u should try both settigns on teh same trail.. then u'll get a god idea of which geometry setting works best for u..

for myself i prefer the bike set up low and slack..

^^ Yup, most everyone i know (including me) ran the slack position. I think the steep position is like the waterbottle mounts on the DT, a compromise for all those Fontucky racing Cali types.
