Recently i went from a 63.5º to a 63º head angle both using an angleset 0.5º and 1º respectively. The only downside i've noticed is a decrease in small bump sensitivity and less sag when using the same for settings. When i pedal on the flat my forks don't move at all even with no lsc and during in a car-park bounce test you can feel that the force isn't being transferred into the suspension but instead directly downward through the handle bars. The suspension reacts the same on trail hits its more that your body weight has less effect on it. If that makes sense.
So my question is has anyone else notice a change in suspension performance as head angles get slacker?
Next ride i am going to play around with handlebar roll to see if that makes a difference. The only other thing that could be the problem is maybe my forks could use a full service but i'm hanging out till just before i fly to whistler to do that.
My average fork setting, rider weight 76kgs getting about 20% sag
Boxxer world cups 2013
50psi with 3 turns of bottom out
4 lsc
4 hsc
