    I’ve just fitted some new forks and have come from Marzocchi 6″ forks to Magura 5.5″ ones, and all of a sudden I feel over the front and not particularly comfy. Is there a way of re-slackening my head angle, like the +5mm On One headset, but probably a bit taller. I’ve already got 1.5″ of spacers and a high rise bar, so don’t really want more there.

    Let your rear tyre down.

    This is a hardtail you’re on about, aye?

    run a larger front tyre than rear
    run less sag in the fork. (stiffer spring/higher air perssure rather than more pre-load)
    use a taller stack lower headset cup.

    if it’s a full sus, running more rear Sag would lower your BB and slack it out too.

    What dampening adjustments does the fork have? Adjusting the fork so it sits in it’s travel better and dive less will have the desired effect. It could be you’re used to a firmer fork or with better adjusted dampening.
