Hi, I am wondering if changing the fork rake affects bike handling *OTHER THAN* its effect on the trail of the bike. Since trail can also be changed by modifying the head tube angle, why aren't frames built with straight fork blades?
My only guess is that having the steering axis offset from the center of the wheel must affect the "resistance" of the handlebars due to conservation of angular momentum.
Can anybody give me some insight into what fork rake does?
