Adjust Your Bicycle Geometry with 2º GeoShift

Wolf Tooth added the new 2º GeoShift Performance Angle Headset to their lineup of angle headsets.

It empowers you to change your head tube angle by -2º to make for a slacker geometry for added stability on fast descents, or by +2º by using the opposite orientation of the headset to make for a steeper geometry for quicker steering with maximum front wheel traction.

The GeoShift Performance Angle Headset features a design in which the bearings sit at an angle that aligns with the steerer tube. This compares to angle headsets that have bearings that sit flat, which adds unneeded friction and stress on the bearings. This design with angled bearings also prevents the creaking that is common with angle headsets that feature a spherical design.
Wolf Tooth headsets are machined in the USA with lightweight, strong, durable 6061 aluminum. Their Performance Headset is built to include an Enduro black oxide coated chromium steel bearing, a one-year warranty, and three levels of superior custom sealing to protect bearings from the elements and prolong the life of the headset.

Their GeoShift Performance Angle Headsets feature a design in which the bearings sit at an angle that aligns with the steerer tube instead of sitting flat and adding unneeded friction and stress on the bearings.
