"There is a lot more to learn about low-trail. That Trek just really isn't low-trail. It's 50 degrees. Low trail is more like 43 mm max. "
Well, there you go. I think the operative word there was "contentious". I don't know anything about low-trail bikes, but I do know that once you use that term someone is going to weigh in about it. Good, Bad, let's fight about it and use a whole bunch of various blogs and websites to back up our opinions. No offense meant to Road Fan, but that pretty much sums it up from what I've seen. I've been enjoying sitting on the sidelines while I learn all about a dispute that I never even knew existed.
(Apologies to Road Fan, I didn't mean to imply that your post was one of those argumentative posts that sometimes enter the low-trail debate. But folks do get pretty spirited on that subject, and leave a bunch of us scratching our heads...)
Still sitting on the sidelines and enjoying the education,
Joe
