well i was told by tarty when they got it that there wasn't enough thread on the 165mm cranks for the bash and freewheel, what ever i don't really mind. The chain stays don't feel long at all, getting the bike to back wheel is no harder than what it was on my hydroxx i don't notice any problems getting to the balance point it just always feels light as a feather, pedal ups and side hops feel easier had some troubles getting used to gaps weather that was to do with the high bb i don't know. I haven't done any natural on it yet though i guess it would probably be harder to pop to back when your front is lower than the back, precision wise i don't really find it different to my hydroxx maybes that's just me though personally i don't think i will ever touch dual disk bike again, i had alot of trouble with hitting the rotor and i think a well set up magura still holds better though i wouldn't mind a front disk cheers
