As someone who defo site in the “cyclist” camp I really appreciate this perspective. I would commute a couple hundred k’s a week and rides trail most weekends. I defo understand how hard it can be to adjust to specific geometry.
I just had a custom hardtail built with sagged angles of 73/67, super tall stack and slightly shortened reach and find it to be incredibly comfortable for long days without feeling like I’m giving up too much on the trail. I guess it’s just about trying things out and finding the compromise that’s gonna work best for you!
