Upgrading to carbon fork
I just bought a Trek 7.3 FX trail bike and am looking to upgrade the front fork to carbon.
The trek website lists the steerer diameter as 1 1/8 diameter and length of 335 mm.
I see several forks advertised with the same diameter but slightly greater length. Will this still fit? I will let my LBS install it for me. What about offset? Is this the same as rake? I think probably not but the offset on the advertisements is often missing. Is this important?
Any information is appreciated.
