I see. I think I know my newtons but i lack the feeling for fashion and whats in and out. Thats why I dont understand the small rake forks. I now understand the clearance bit, and the short wheelbase and why people want it. But the enormous trail that a fork with small rake has makes for sloppy and sluggish steering. Why would someone care to combine a small wheelbase AND low rake fork in a single bike??
