yeah your not joking dude , one of the reasons why ive sold it ,but there a few things you can do, chainring size go for a 36t and a 11-21 rear you could also get mojo to build you a custom shock that has the same stroke but the eye to eye at 230mm that should lift the b/b to 13.9 or 14 inch depending on your fork stantions. but it wont be cheap . im just waiting for my 2011 demo to arrive this has an adjustment to lift the b/b. hope that helps dude
