i think that the ha slacken year by year...
once we had 66 for dh, now it is 63. for aggressive trail we had 68-69, now it is 65-66.
now with 57.5 and 29ers, they slacken a bit more.
did some homework on how the wheel dimension affects the handling.
and the results are:
1. to find the head angle feel of the 27.5 bike in a 26 bike, subtract 1.20° from the 27.5's bike head angle.
2. to find the head angle feel of the 29 bike in a 26 bike, subtract 2.35° from the 29's bike head angle.
proof of that:
27.5 bikes are produced with 66 ha which means that they handle like 64.8 26ers!!!!
also 29ers with 67 (look at new niner)...
maybe in a few years, they will slacken even more...
prepare for 60 ha dh bikes and 64 enduro!!!
