Nice bike! Any thoughts on how the slacker dropouts change the ride? Do they give you enough added clearance for a 27.5 wheel?

Thanks! I rode it for a season without the slackers or the angleset and because of it's age, the 67 degree headangle felt too steep at high speeds. With -1 degree slackers and the -1.5 angleset, it feels a lot more stable at speed and the lower bb helps too. I never thought about trying 27.5 wheels on it, I think there would be clearance issues at full travel, it's pretty tight with 26's.
