• Has anybody seen any carbon disc only cyclo-x forks in their travels on ta web with a axle to crown about 390-430mm, a rake of around 38mm, weighing 500g-ish?

    I want to replace the steel forks (a-c = 440mm, rake = 38mm, weight 1015g) on my MTB for a more commuter friendly light weight carbon, while also dropping the front end a bit, sharpening the handling (current 68deg headtube angle is too slack) and still running a disc up front (would prefer disc only for a cleaner look).

    I've seen some good reports about the Trigon MC01 XC carbon monocoque fork that looks good at 495g, a-c = 415mm, but the rake is 48mm. For £120-130 on Ebay.

    Is 10mm of rake actually gonna affect the steering that much? And if so, how (sharpen or slacken)?
