The hope was it would lower the front end, and my understanding was that there'd then be a touch more weight to keep the wheel down/improve traction. The frame was designed with an axle to crown of 505mm and a 120mm reba is 526mm. I was advised this would be fine by the seller (custom waltly frame made for him) and it is broadly fine, but I'd like to find a better balance, so I guess will it actually make a discernable difference or do I just adjust my riding style?

Why do you think 10mm shorter will improve climbing handling?
