My CAAD 9 fork has a "45" rake. I'm looking at a 3T model that come in either 43, 49, or 53 rake. Nothing in the same rake as mine has now.

So, what will this do if I get the 43, or the 49? I've heard it makes steering either more sensitive (twitchy), or more stable, depending on which way you go.

I just don't understand. If I get the 43, which is closest to what I have now, what difference will that make?


Sorry for the ignorance, but I can't find a chart, graph, or anything else to explain it to me.
