Here is a link to a rake and trail calculator: http://www.kreuzotter.de/english/elenk.htm
Normally you would use metric measurements. Input must be in centimeters though rake offset and trail are usually expressed in millimeters.
I use to have an article that said neutral steering on a bicycle is at 57 mm of trail. Personally I prefer a trail in the mid 60's.
