I guess it depends on what you call too slack. I haven't measured my actual
STA yet but but I'm guessing 73.5 to 74 degrees which is perfect for all-
around riding for me. I do have it in the high setting with a 120mm fork
though so that's as steep as you can realistically make it. I find that the
high setting works really well and helps reduce the all-too-common pedal
strikes and steepens the angles a bit.
For me, I find that 73-74 is the sweet spot for ascending, descending and
especially rolling singletrack. Any steeper and I find that my weight is not
balanced when on anything other than a steep climb.
