To extend my previous comment. We can give you recommendations all day long, but it all comes down to what you are comfortable with. Just play around with everything until you are confident in your setup.

If you are going downhill you want your weight to be on the back of the bike. So if you are coming into a turn off of a downhill straight you might run the risk of going over the bars.

If I can get enough people to join, I will put up a private server where we can all mess around. My teamspeak is oasis.ts.nfoservers.com

I will buy a server if I can get some people to come play.

Hey man, I'm looking for some people to ride with. If you want to join my teamspeak the IP is oasis.ts.nfoservers.com

Just looking for a group of people to enjoy the game with. Sure racing pub servers is fun, but I want to actually have fun just messing around. I have been playing the game casually for about 2 years now and have never met anyone to play with. If you have a community or something PM me on the forums...
