The steel forks on my Speed Ross are straight with no offset
(rake) and a 70 deg head angle. I was thinking of upgrading
to a carbon fibre which are available from Wound Up
Composite Cycles. The forks they offer have a 25mm Rake.
Would this alter the handling to any degree and if so, how
would it affect it ? Thanks, Mike. Speed Ross BikeE RX

Rake will make the handling lighter and more twitchy. The
Ross bikes handle very well.IMHO the Festina is the best handling low racer sold
commercially.You may or may not like it. The bike will feel racier and
will require much more attention.Mike Beckett said:
