Deriving trail from partial data
Is there a way to derive a bike's trail if the manufacturer's published geometry specs are incomplete? If so, what would be the minimal data or combination data needed to do the calculation?
For example. Bob's bike has a HT angle of 71 and fork offset of 50mm and tires are 700/35c. What is the trail?
Can other data be put to work to solve for unknown trail?
