Calculating fork rake
Hola
So I figured I'd just measure from the BB shell to the center of the skewer, flip the fork around and repeat, subtract the one from the other and divide by 2
I got 43mm.... which is obviously a very common fork rake.. so I kinda feel like I did right.. but I also know what a difference a couple MM can make - I had a road bike with a 42mm fork that was absolutely unruly... almost unrideable, really. Stuck a 45mm fork on there and suddenly she rode like a DREAM. For instance.
Is there a better/established method for accurately calculating rake when it's not otherwise known?
Thanks brus
