I have a Reynols Ouzo Pro fork that I removed from my Litespeed when it was fitted (the steerer was too short and the fork needed to be replaced with one with an alloy steerer). I'd like to determine the rake of the fork so I can properly describe it when I go to sell it. So how can I determine the rake?

near the crown of the fork, on the steerer tube. It will give you all the "specs" of that fork.

If not there, I am sure there are people on this Forum that can talk you though how to figure it out. ( I am NOT one of them).

Good luck,

Steve

Steve,

THere's a tag that reads 700mm-40mm, Does this indicate a 40mm rake?
