Does anyone go/has anyone gone off-road touring on a modern long/low/slack hardtail with a rigid fork? Wondering whether I can have a bike that does trail centres and touring at the same time just by swapping the fork over (and maybe switching to Jones bars and more practical tyres, etc.). But I feel like a bike with a 65° head angle will ride like an absolute pig once you put some weight on the fork and I can't un-slacken it because the seat angle is already 75°.
