Hawk - Rear Shock

[jimwildman]

had 32 in the front and couldnt control it very well on wet grass. at 25 its alot better, i didnt have any slip out in the front. i might go lower in the rear for going over logs and such since it wont conform to the shape of the log much at all with 23 psi.

I didn't know where you rode before, as you have no location on your avatar (I guess that's what they call it). Any way, I'd buy another heavy duty tube for the front wheel, and, assuming you are not riding at high speeds, drastically reduce your tire pressures. Try 12 front, 16 rear, and see if you like it. Low pressure really helps on rocks, wet stony stream beds, wet tree roots and going over logs. Just remember to put the pressure back up when riding at speed. I hope this helps.
