  • might not be the best place to ask, but thought it was the thread that have the best visibility for this.
    I am trying to think about a potential modification of an existing geometry.

    • frame 1 is head tube angle 75°, fork rake 45mm => trail 42mm and chainstay length + front distance =935mm
    • frame 2 is head tube angle 73.5°, fork rake 54mm => trail 42mm and chainstay length + front distance=960mm

    First proposition will be more compact (smaller wheelbase), but second will avoid much more toe overlap, but overall handling will feel the same because trail is identical, or am I completely wrong?
    or is there any other element than trail to take into consideration for the bike handling and behavior?

    calling the geometry experts and frame builders of the forum!
