In lockdown I bought a trendy gravel bike of eBay with a 72.5 degree head angle. There’s lots of things I like about it- ability to run big tyres and guards, straight line stability, disc breaks, but I’m not in love with the way it corners.
On my road bike you pick a line, lean into it and it feels like the bike pulls you round the corner.
There are a bunch of other variables other than head angle. The gravel bike has longer chain stays, more bb drop, a very slightly shorter top tube, fork with slightly more rake. But all of those are hard/impossible to change so I thought I’d try an angleset first.
Anyone have any experience steepening things up?
Thanks
