question on fork rake
 

so i need to replace the fork on my bike and the tapered fork from EDGE is a 43 mm rake whereas the rake off my bike is 45. my question is, how much of a difference will the 2mm smaller rake make on the handling of the bike? i know the bike will respond quicker and probably not soak up the bumps as much. should i avoid going to the smaller rake?

contact the manufacturer and get what they recomend.

yea, i was going to call cannondale tomorrow morning. just wanted to see if anybody has had a similar experience and maybe could give some incite
