Just installed a Wolftooth -2 degree headset on my Kona Woo this past weekend. Overthinking the alignment of it was a bit stressful but overall the installation went quite smoothly. The 3D printed installation spacers were very nice to use and such a thoughtful detail. The relatively low stack height was appreciated as well, just barely had enough steerer tube length on a used fork to fit a BMX stem with low stack height on it without any spacers.
Really taking a lot of self control to not buy a 1 degree EC34 Works headset for my partner's 2011 Trek Fuel if only for the sake of satisfying my need to tinker with stuff. But if we're running a 120mm 27.5" fork on a bike designed for a 120mm 26" fork it only makes sense to try and shave every single millimeter and degree where it counts, right? Right? It's not just my desire to tinker and change things that will probably go unnoticed by a beginner mountain biker, right?
