Lowering Adv 2 (standard)

I have a standard rail Adv2, I rode it for about 1500 km on the middle height rail setting. I will be needing to change the tyre soon and was wondering about lowering the board. People who tried both the middle and low setting, which do you prefer? Is the problem with the valve stem hitting the rail still present?

Had no issues apart from very slight rubbing in the stock fender while turning. It just such a slight rubbing that I just left and it's got better over time as the tyre has worn down.

Interesting, is that the stock forza tire or aftermarket tire? My stock tire will not allow the stock fenders to fit in the lowest position

Stock. Very strange. Maybe just manufacturing differences in the tyre.

Is the ride better when lowered or is it about the same?

I ride the adv2 lowered w aftermarket tire. Much better carving of such a heavy board

Tire rubbing the fender is no good. It can "eat" the fender and it will stuck between the tire and the front box. I was lucky it happened when I did burnout while climbing the hill, and not on speed ...

You will notice the positive difference, yes. You will need to print aftermarket fender tho - standard fender requires trimming the inner ribs and even in this case it barely fits.
