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?
