Yes this is also what I'm starting to think. I love my Fox 36 with the Grip 2 damper but running it at 170mm with a 29er wheel I really feel it lets me down in the crown and steerer stiffness specification. Coincidentally my head angle is right around 64 degrees :) I'd be very temped to try a MRP Bartlett but have found 0 reviews online for them and am pretty concerned about breaking my frame at the head tube as I'm already way over forked after going from a stock 27.5" , 160 mm fork to my current 29" 170 mm. Also I am not a light guy so my experience may not be typical.
