Its the same feeling i got when i put a temporary replacement fork on a cross bike that had a 15mm longer a-c. so maybe something to do with the head angle
yes this also makes trail longer
but normally that should give a slower stable feeling going towards sluggishness... so a bit strange in your case with difficult nohands riding and all. Maybe its just different than what you are used to !

Yea after plugging numbers on the trail calc i can see how that should be the case.
I felt the same effect on my cross bike actually. Id been running 45c front and 38c back, and after switching back to 38c front again it was like it was a new bike, with much more predictable and stable handling. Similar to the fork with a too long a-c. Maybe its just me that's picky, but there is definitely something in the handling that feels off in all these cases.
@vp1337 Yea man, thanks!

Tire pressure? It wasnt awfully low..
Its the same feeling i got when i put a temporary replacement fork on a cross bike that had a 15mm longer a-c. so maybe something to do with the head and seat angle or bb height?
Im excited to see how the steering feels with a smaller diameter wheels. Maybe ill test with 29er in the back and smaller in the front to simulate a shorter a-c..
