I'm still not convinced by all this. If you're tightening the HT you're moving the wheel axles closer but if you make the forks have more rake you're moving them out again? How can that achieve the same characteristics then?
I've always been in the mind set that tight HTs, small rakes, short wheelbase and short stems makes a bike twitchy. This mindset was formed in the world of bmx though, where it seems there is no such thing as an industry standard
