Seat angle and tyre clearance.
Didn't know Matt had had a fork issue, but he doesn't ride his like most people! Perhaps why the Mk5 is a bit less raked?

Yeah it was slowly bending. If you look at the Pinkbike pics you can see it in comparison to a new one. He has a truss on it now. Races a dirtbomb now I think? I did have a quick spin on it last year.
Yeah seat angle has always been an issue with me. That's why I sold mine. I could make a newer one work with the longer TT though.

What didn't he like? I always wanted a MK4 but after seeing Lakin's forks bend (I'm not a smooth rider) I was put off slightly. I know Stooge upgraded his forks on that bike.
