[harveyjl26]

i use to live in oregon and road fire roads and big down hill on my yeti arc and loved it. i now live in austin tx and the the trails are tight single track with lots of rocks big and small. what kinda geometry would be the best for this type of riding?

Eastern Woods Research, Cannondale Beast of the East, Bontrager, etc. all have mods that were made to better suit these trails. Higher Bottom Brackets, steeper head angles, less fork offset. Search for these and read up, get some ideas, then you'll really get the custom bug
