Hey! The bike is a 2014 specialized stumpy fsr comp 29er. I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to slack out the head angle in this bike without going to a longer fork? Looks like my only other option is an angleset headset from cane creek but I'm not sure if it's even possible to install one on this bike? Thanks for the help!

I don't think you can fit an angleset to that frame/fork combo (but I could be wrong)

Offset bushings are probably your only option if you want to slacken the bike.

Try to find the 10mm crown spacer spec used in the 2014&5 650 stumpy.
I oredered it through spec dealer as spare part, cca 20$/€/£
You put it between crown&headset, should give you -0,4 deg of slack

Worked great on sj29evo

Will use it on e29.

You can use a single Offset Bushing on the Stumpy - you'll get around 0.5 degrees of adjustment on average. It's far more noticeable than you'd imagine too!

They're only £12 also.

Hope that helps!
