ok, but horrible in what way? twitchy steering? imbalanced loads? most MTBs are such upright geometry (for me who never gets to ride off-road) that they are not what I am looking for anyways, I only got this for the 853 frame tbh.

With less A-C the bottom bracket drops and the head angle tightens. Makes the steering more direct whilst increasing the chance of pedal strike. Might give you what you want. Better than the side effects of too much A-C, i.e. leverage snaps your head tube off.

It looks like the difference in a2c is minimal here so doubt that's going to happen. To be honest, I doubt it happens as much as internet wisdom might like you to think it does.
