my bad, i forget there's some proper hardtail shredders here on thehubsa

Nice BigWig.... I will try find some pitchas of me on the same bike a few years ago...... Ran a 140mm though.

 

It is a super fun bike.

Nice bike, but 120mm is not long travel ......

When you float like a butterfly it is.

 

Note: personally I am the bumble bee variety

It feels too upright and less sendy.... 140mm or 130mm would make more sense to me....

 

It's not 'bad', it just feels like it's out of whack a bit, especially when pedalling

Before you sell the 150mm, alternatively add two spacers (more than factory install) and decrease the pressure with15/20%. Your shock will ride lower in normal riding position, have excellent small bump sensitivity and non-linear ramp-up will prevent bottom-out. 

 

Only tight uphill turns, when your weight is more to the rear will remain awkward. Small compromise to have for flying down-hill imo
