Time for C-Bushings. Which degree should I get?

[toddz69]

The Early Bronco caster specification was invented in 1966 with manual steering, 6 inch wide bias ply tires with "modest" steering effort. It was never right.

Since I often participate in tangents in these threads - here's an interesting one that I learned of a few days ago. Some of you are probably aware of the Ineos Grenadier rigs that were introduced a year or two ago. Apparently they were designed with very little caster in their front ends - like 1-2 deg. positive. Owners are complaining about on-road wandering, lack of return to center, etc. The suspension design allows caster to be adjusted about 2 deg. but it's still not enough. Apparently their engineers didn't get the memo.

If you've ever tried to ride with no-hands on your mountain bike, you know exactly what too-little caster feels like.

Then, too little caster always caused me skinned knees and elbows... LOL

That analogy makes a lot of sense though, and now I understand the reasoning for cutting and turning the inner C's. Thanks.
