RRP tube length??

[SELF27]

Hi, I have a bob gen 2 and got to ride first time this last weekend. Wondering is there a good setting for length of pole or is it just whatever works? This is my first time on am hull and it rides super nose high compared to a round nose superjet. Pole is approx. 38-39" from pivot to bars. Feels like it could be a good 3-4 inches shorter or even more? Thanks

Shorter the better. 32" or less.

Ok, Whats your bob set at? Where do your bars line up with pole down? right over shock pad?

Mine is at the shortest setting, and I plan on cutting another 3+ inches off.

Mine looks to be at shortest point too. Since taking apart and cutting how much would you cut? 3"? What's rule on how much in end pieces?

When I had my bob I cut 4" off my tubes and slammed the pole down I'm 5'11" tall if that helps any

Cool, I cut 4" off yesterday and put to lowest setting. still measures 34 inches from pivots to bars. I do have riser bars that are set straight back though. If I need to I can adjust those too. I'm 6'2 so I may need to go shorter? going to test out this weekend.

Weld the upper and lower brackets together you don't need those tubes
