Ive been searching high and low on this forum to find the Kilo TT fork rake because i plan on upgrading to a wound up fork and id like to know what the rake is so i dont change up the geometry so much.

Why on earth are you upgrading a bike with a fork that costs nearly the price of the bike?! You would be much better choosing a bike that's twice the price of the Kilo imo.

It's actually kind of hard to find out what the rake is.

There's this:

Then there's this:


So, IDK and probably neither does anyone else. Best bet is to measure your own fork. It's very easy.

I believe it should be 43mm, or around there. That is what I measured my 60cm tt to be.

You won't notice the difference if it is only a couple mm off, and as mentioned earlier, just measure your own fork for a close estimate.

+1 A Wound up costs around 300-400 dollars if you want a upgrade save a bit more and get a better frame.
