"buy the bike you already own" is such a refreshing thing. I love reading all these articles as they often contain exactly what's going through my head. I was flip flopping on a -1 degree wolftooth angle set for my bike (65.9* to 64.9* on a 29er) then thought if I was putting one in why not go full -2 degree. The only thing stopping me is concern about stress to the head tube, I haven't seen anyone having issues with angle sets and broken head tubes, but one of those things that eats at my brain. The other thing I saw some mention is making it too slack, would it take away from the snappy handling enough to cause regret? This content just keeps on giving! Im interested to see what develops with the hardtails!
