Is the #120 jet actually the universal "Magic Number" for small blocks?

Been doing some testing on a few different engins lately and after messing with a few diffrent sizes, the #120 jet seems to be the absolute sweet spot for throttle response and top-end.

It cured the low-end bog I was getting with the stock setup. Are you finding the #120 is the baseline, or does altitude change the game that much for you guys?

Is there an actual way to "theft-proof" a mini bike, or is a determind thief going to get it regardless?

With bike thefts hitting an all-time high in some cities, it feels like keeping a project in the garage or a truck bed is a constant gamble. Some guys swear by heavy-duty log chains and ground anchors, while others say hidden Airtags are the only real "peace of mind" left.

What's the most creative thing you've done to keep a build from "walking away" overnight?

Are spring seats actually a solution for long rides, or are we just lying to ourselves about back pain?

I love the classic look of a hardtail mini bike, and those seat springs definitely help with the small bumps. But after a 2-hour trail ride, my lower back still feels like I've been through a car crash.

Is the used mini bike market officially delusional, or are these prices actually the new normal?

Just saw a clapped-out Coleman with a "runs great, just need a carb clean" description listed for $800. Since when did a rusted frame and a stock engine become a luxury item?
