Rise for me is very happy downhill. Steeper the better. But uphill it just wants to turn off and go back down at the slightest nudge off line.
Round here it’s a lot of cross country to get to the downhill bits so most of the time the steering is too slack ( complete opposite of the trend at the moment I know) and wants to veer off.
I presume to get it more to my liking I’d want to steepen (not slacken) the head angle. I’ve tried playing with sag on the suspension but anything not rock hard means the pedals strike more and no useful steering tweak is had really.
So I’m thinking of adjustable head set cups and or a longer shock to straighten it all up.
Anyone know if such things? And if the Orbea head tube lends itself to wiggle room ?
