Getting the HT more shallow
« on: April 28, 2008, 10:27:37 AM »
Is there a way to do this easily? I am running zero forks and I feel like they're too steep with my 75 degree headtube on my Div. If I could knock them back half a degree I'd be set, but I have no idea how that could be possible.

If you are for real, you probably spend enough time on your bike that there's no time left for talking sh*t on message boards.

Of course, if all you do is talk sh*t on message boards, you're probably not as good or as cool as you think you are.

Not bigger, but taller.
Use a KHE mac on the rear (it has a low height) and a taller tire up front, primo wall for example.

try setting your backwheel more to the front if you have space
the more it goes back the steeper it gets

You can change the frames angle compared to the ground with these solutions, but you won't change the way the frame handles when spinning around the fork. IE, the frame will still feel the same around your handlebar\stem\fork-setup, but it will need a bit more pushing to make the back wheel leave the ground.

No its to make it rake out. The other way.
