Thanks Kenny!
Be honest, did you buy the Carbon Chameleon because of the catchy jingle?! I didn't have a wheel but when I tested the CC I tried geared, single speed, over-forking the bike, and the one thing I was desperate to try was a mullet setup. Just to get the little bit slacker HTA and some bigger rubber out back.
I understand why on carbon frames drop-in bearings result in a better headtube as measured by strength v. weight; however, being able to mount an angleset or reach adjust headset is a deal-breaker for me now. Why lock myself in?
Watch the climbing traction increase as you lengthen the stays!
And yes, you _NEED_ to try CushCure at least on the rear. It's crazy the difference it makes on a hardtail (with no penalties besides weight - hahaha)
