Less chance of pedal strikes was the goal. Will now experiment with the adjustable geo. Head angle changed from the steep to the neutral setting with flip chip in high. Front centre just grew about 9mm (1290mm) and reach reduced by xx (I didn't measure it)
Keeping the suspension up in the stroke helps a lot to min peddle bash, so if you don't mind running a more stiffer setup or higher pressures, it'll help. Flip chip in high made it feel like the bike turns better,but I have little time with it in this setup. I always run it low. Would be interested in hearing feedback on slack vs neutral vs steep with the head angle changed.
