Different Arrowheads bend differently (Tikz)
I have stumbled upon some weird behaviour regarding arcs and arrowheads.
Here is a MWE:
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{graphicx}
usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
defRad{2cm}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[blue, thick] (0:Rad) arc (0:360:Rad);
draw[orange,->] (90:Rad) arc (90:90-170:Rad);
draw[orange,-{Triangle[length=1mm, width=1mm]}] (90:Rad) arc (90:90+170:Rad);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
If you look closely at the outcome, one can notice that the orange arcs bend differently:
I would rather use the triangular arrowheads, but it is the one that bends differently than the actual circle, so I can not use it as it seems to be inaccurate.
I appreciate your help.

All you need to do is to also load bending to cure this.
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,bending}
defRad{2cm}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[blue, thick] (0:Rad) arc (0:360:Rad);
draw[orange,->] (90:Rad) arc (90:90-170:Rad);
draw[orange,-{Triangle[length=1mm, width=1mm]}] (90:Rad) arc (90:90+170:Rad);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
