I have a carbon fork made by Wound-Up with a 43mm rake with CANTI posts on my 700 roadbike. I had Dean do the custom ti frame and love it. Its gemoetry is a true roadbike, just with extra clearence all-around for 34c tires 'cause there is a lot of crappy dirt roads up here in Maine.
I am having problems with the fork. Wound-Up mounted the canti posts just 1 or 2 mm too low, so the Paul canti brakes (and all others I've tried) hit the rim just a bit too low. the issu isn't too bad when I use 20mm wide Open Pro rims, but gets worse when I ride my 'race' wheels- American Classic 420 rims that are only 19mm wide.
I've looked high and low and can't find any other 700 canti fork in a 43mm rake, and am afraid of shelling out the $ to try a 45mm rake. Will I REALLY notice the difference in the rake of a 45mm vs 43mm?
