Has anyone ever ran small wheels on the big wheel bike, longer swing arm etc.
any info will help.
Thanks

Haven't personally been involved in running this set up but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work other than reducing ground clearance.

Thinking more about spring rate and sag, how much different

[crfsonly]

valving and spring rates should be the same. race sag as well.

Yah, the factory supplied fork/shock springs are a step stiffer on the RB than the R. If they work with big wheels for the rider, they'll work with the small wheels.

It just lengthens the wheelbase a small amount from the swingarm and changes the gearing. You raise the forks in the tree (lower the front end). Only difference between the R and RB is wheel size, chain/sprockets, rear swingarm, and rear brake line.

Thanks for the input guys!
I talked to Factory Connection and they also said same run the spring rates as we do on big wheel and raise the triple clamps to 8mm. Gearing is always a per track basis anyhow.
