Again, you're kidding, right? No one is talking about cutting you up and balancing the weight equally between the two wheels. Center of mass relative to the wheelbase and "accomplishment" depends on you.
Nope, not kidding. Never do that kind of stuff. Not downhill, not technical.

As for the balancing, I am asking the question that no one is willing to answer. What do you mean by balance, and more to the point, 50:50 balance? You can measure the weight distribution of a bike by putting a scale under each wheel. Is that what you mean. I'm just saying that 50:50 measured that way is almost impossible on a bike. If that is not what you mean, then what do you mean?
