  1. Just curious. Would there be a difference in handling and feel between two bikes with the same trail
    but say; one bike with a steep 74 degrees steer angle and a moderate forkrake and another bike with
    a relaxed 69 degrees steer angle and a lot of forkrake?

    I've wondered the same thing myself. I suppose there would be a difference in weight distribution
    at least, which could affect handling to some degree.

    Most definately. The closer to vertical, the more sensitive it is to "input" and also the easier it
    is to go over it. I like a steep rake for trails -- I just learned to keep my weight back when
    necessary 🙂.
