;-) thx for the support
Actually I am pretty confident that it will great with a 74 degree HT.
Both ThueKr and I have had the same experiences wanting to be faster through turns, especially in sscx.
Basically a cross race is 40-60 min long and not comfy at all, so I don't need the handling to be pleasant. I just need to up my game.
And most importantly of all. If it sucks I will come back telling you all you were right. But I need to try it out for myself.
Also it depends on the forks rake (I can not find exact data online and haven't measured it yet). I am not settled on exactly 74 degrees. But I want it steeper than off the peg frames. Maybe I will do a specific thread...
