While we're on the subject... my bike is a conversion with a road fork and a long rake, pretty standard road geometry for 20 years ago and just inching into touring land. I love it on the road, but I've never raced it on the track. Someone told me a little while ago that if I put it on the track and went too fast through the banks, the centrifugal forces could actually bend the fork!

Is that possible? Is it likely?
