Hi all,
I want to have a go at slackening out my trail bike, it’s a 29er with a ~ 68 degree ha (2016 intense spider 29). Looking at works headset (zs/ec tapered). Just wondering how far should I go with it, thinking -1 so the bike isn’t that far out of spec. I like how it handles now just a speed the front end seems a bit more twitchy compared to the rear (445mm cs) which is mega stable. This is a do it all FS bike with a 130 fox 34 on the front.. I ride Bright to the yarra trails on it. I don’t hit anything massive but like dark blue/light black trails mostly.. Have an xc hardtail for pedal fest duties. Just want to see how much more I can get out of the bike without the need to upgrade. -1, -1.5 or 2?
