Riders will vary widely as to how sensitive they are to handling and weight distribution issues...... and of course it does depend somewhat on exactly what you are doing with the bike..... technical crits on a poor handling bike will not be much fun, and a bike which feels a bit of a handful (or front end shimmy!!) is hardly likely to give you the confidence to carve up a descent at speed!
