If I have a longer fork (with the +50 offset), how would trail increase by more than 5mm (5.3mm by your figures)? Wouldn't it be on the other side of that equation and be more in the 3-4mm range? Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong, but with fork length being longer that should compensate for some of the trail differences, or so I thought.
