Thinking I want to slacken my V2* El Guapo, but not sure what angle to go for?
Don't really want a super slack thing, I still want it to be (semi)awake sterring feeling, but at 68deg with a 150mm fork (and fat lower cup h/set) it can feel a touch steep sometimes, not terribly so, just feel I can't let the bike go as much as it wants to sort of thing?
Fork length/steerer type mean I've a choice of 1degree or 1.5degree from the Works Components range (am after a fat lower cup)

afaik the V3 (Current) El Guapo is 67degrees

would you go 1degree slacker or 1.5?
Realise there's not a lot in it, but just wondering

*V2 - still titus geometry, but on-one fiddled taper headtube, matching colour back end etc. claimed 68deg HA
