Head tube angle/increased fork travel
Alright, my bike currently has a 70mm head tube angle with 63 mm travel on
the fork. I mentioned in another thread that I was thinking about getting a new fork like this one: http://makeashorterlink.com/?J2BC12E05 or another 80mm travel fork (any suggestions for a nice price--marzocchi maybe). Anyway, someone mentioned that most people find 71 degrees to be about right for the head tube angle. Of course, mine is already off that mark by 1 degree. Does anyone know how much the above fork would throw off the angle even more? Is there any way at all to counteract that effect without having a frame builder replace the head tube. If not, then does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks again, Alan McClure |
