  • So, I've managed to bend my DAMP forks in Karlsruhe. Damn. No longer rides straight with no hands and you can visually see one leg veering away from the other.

    Anyone got anything 32mm rake and 405 A-C? long shot but anything close would be considered.

    The identiti ffx forks are an option at 30mm rake and 425 A-C, how would that change the handling? Would I even notice?
    Off the top of my head it would slacken your head and seatangles about a degree, raise your bb just less than ten mm increase your effective tt length by 2-3mm or so and The Mechanical trail (the important one)will increase by around 10mm.

    Handling wise:
    Wouldn't want to corner as tightly and would want to lean more into corners; would jack-knife with the wheel turned further (it would jack-knife at a much tighter rate of turn but more violently) and you would have more steering feedback through the bars.
