Following Dennis aka Rockstar at Elfin. Mostly same trails in last vid and it's kinda long, but wanted to get my buddy in the mix and capture the day.

I went back to 38mm rise bars instead of 20mm and slackened the head angle, so please excuse the spazzing out trying to manual/pop/widget everything... the bike is just too fun now :lol:

That was a cool vid!! so, did the higher rise make that much of a difference? How did you slacken your angle?

:thumbsup:

Thanks! I have a CC angleset that I was running 1deg steeper and just switched to slacker. My HA is now 65 :D. Feels so much better. And it actually climbs really well since it also steepens the seat angle.

With the low rise bars it just took more to loft the front. The higher rise have a more natural and playful feel for me.
