The Angleset question is terrible! TERRIBLE! That’s why I didn’t mention it hahahahaha.
The Roscoe is perfectly fun as it is, cruising with my kid on blue and even purple North Shore trails and it’s the perfect mix of stable and easy to ride on climbs (here I’m getting into the ride review but whatever). The first upgrade is absolutely a front brake caliper and rotor and maybe the back too as right now I’m using everything on tap on those trails.
At what point in the upgrade curve does it make sense to install a 9point8 IS **[SLACK-R](https://nsmb.com/articles/9point8-slack-r-standard-angleset/)**? I think at the same time as someone is upgrading the fork to a 150mm unit with a more aggressive chassis and damper. Which is something the frame is absolutely worthy of.
