Angleset or Offset Bushings?

[Aaron Coulter]

I’m looking to slacken my bike about 1.5 to 2 degrees, and slightly drop the bottom bracket.

After looking into it I’m not really sure if I should go with an angled headset, offset bushings, or a bit of both.

Anglesets seem to drop the bb slightly less, but from what I’ve read they have a lot of bearing related issues…also about 3 times the price of bushings.

My main concern with offset bushings is how it will effect my rear linkage.

If any of you are running either of these, let me know your thoughts on what would make the most sense long term.

Thanks!
