Like a 456 but 29er? What angles are "slack" for a 29er?

Intense Tracer 29

Edit: not sure that its 'slack for a 29er' but it looks like it can take a bit of abuse.

lurcher is described as a 'trail tough 29er' so thats what i use it for.

"What angles are "slack" for a 29er?"

Tricky, can be a degree or 2 steeper quite happily, personally I think the same amount of steering 'flop' slackness on a 29er means it's potentially gone too far - a stable, rag-able 29er still feels more neutral (in a good way, less floppy) than an equivalently stable 26".

Never mind all the 120/140mm hardtails.

My yelli is 67.4 degrees on my i-thingy angle finder with 140mm revs.Might stick a -1.5degree angleset on there for s&g's.
