It's simple

Just tell Team Carrasco your height, weight and what type of courses you are looking to ride on your AXE. It will come out of the box dialed just for you. Richy has this knack like no other.

Axe set-up

Boyd, e-mail Richy, tell him what you're thinking...
He's got the parts, believe me, And has unparralled expertise in putting stuff together as a race-ready package. [When he tells my student, A. Schwippert, that something needs tweaking or adjusting at a race, my advice to Adam has been simple: Richy Knows, Trust him]

As for Donald's suggestion, I highly advocate doing the 'store visit + test drive' is at all possible. It'll enlighten you, I'm sure.
