Any one remember forks with adjustable travel? Doesn't dropping the fork hight cause the seat angle to to be steeper ? Also slack HTA for me is annoying on steep climbs . Switch backs the fork flops over . It's because of the slack HTA I believe. I personally prefer healthy knees and a comfortable seated position. Would be quite happy with a 69 degree HTA . Never bothered me in the past . Was never an issue .
Going over the bars on steep dh is rider error . If a climb is punchy , steep and teck. My ass is not on the seat .
A bike with a less than slack HTA is much more responsive to your input . Steers faster .
Sorry going against the commercial , forced image of what industry tells me I need.
