There's also the another problem a new fork can present and that is different forks will have a different axle to crown distance, if that distance is reduced the bicycle's head tube rotates down, relative to the rear axle, thereby increasing the head tube angle and making the bike handle more quickly and thus more difficult to stay on track. A longer axle to crown distance will decrease the head tube aangle and make the bike more difficult to turn.
