Hi everyone.
I own a 2023 Spectral:On CF8 and want to slacken the headtube to 64° since all it's competitors seem to run a HTA of 64⁰. Even the Neuron now has a HTA of 64⁰. Meaning I have to get an adapter to slacken it.
With the help of ChatGPT I found this:

Will this fit? Will it work? See the pictures for the internal cable routing management of the Spectral.
I know I am asking a lot but I hope someone with a deeper understanding can answer my questions..

Won’t work because of the headset cable routing. Another reason why I’ll never buy a bike with that
I believe the top is IS52, not ZS56. Bearing sits directly in the frame, so you can’t really use angle-adjusting headsets.
You could try a longer airshaft for your fork, that will also slacken the bike (but also increase BB height)
