Bike is perfect when climbing but on descents it feels too steep. If i fit forks that are 20mm longer A2C and lower the spacers under the stem by 15mm (including the extra sag) my hands will be in the same place but the bike will be 2degrees slacker and more confidence inspiring??
Is that right? or should i just pay the money for some Uturn revs and set em at 120mm for climbing and 140mm for descending?

I am thinking option B is the best (but sadly more expensive!!)

firstly, that won't make the bike 2 deg slacker (more like 1deg)
and secondly, it's far more likely that it's not simply the steep head angle that's causing you grief when descending.

What bike is it?

Not causing grief just want it to feel a touch slacker - trance x
