Whatever you say almighty one.
Have to remember as well that the flex in a 32 at 140 will be a fair few more tenths of a percent greater than the flex in a 36 lowered to 140, thus increasing the gap between both ride height and perceived bike handling. 😉

That would be correct, except I was talking about the angles, not suspension performance. You can tell the difference in geometry riding down the road 😉

So was I... the flex and its resultant angleset style geometry makeover will be apparent in much of its miniscule glory the moment the bike is loaded; the suspension performance is more a product of springs, damping and whatnot.
Steerer length and stem placement surely also contribute more to effective weight distribution and difference in ride feel more than a minute geometry change.
You're forgetting about offsets too 😉
Aargh, my mind 😀

Stiffness isn't performance? Think about that a bit more.

Correct, same stem and steerer length though.
Edit: I am properly bored of this thread now
why on earth would you put lowered 36's on a bike and ride down a road?
ohh and how the trail from different heights tyres in conjuntion with the offsets 😆 sorry I'll go back to work now 😀
