Hi, i wanted to ask if someone has experience with different utility carbon forks , with different fork rake.
i amcurrently building up a gravel bike, Lynskey gr 260 , HTA 70.5, and Rake 50.
i am not sure which fork I should choose, the Lynskey Modell has a 45 rake and ATC 395mm but this has no eyelets..
so i am in between the curve gxr Rake 51, ATC 400mm. Or the Bombtrack ext ,Rake 50 ,ATC 395, and the Rodelabs spork 2.0 , Rake 45 , ATC 396.
Am I correct if I use a fork with more , higher Rake , it will be more stabile at higher speed , but not steering friendly at lower? I am planing to have a more or less all year around bikepacking bike with some possibilities for dirt races , like dirty reiver.
anyway , iam hoping I get some experience and informations from you , and thoughts. if it’s necessary to think that much about a preferred fork from the bikebuilder . Or up to 5 mm will change a lot? Thanks a lot all the best Dom
I could tell the difference going from a 50 to 45 on my old Vaya, but neither was necessarily worse. If you haven't ridden the bike just go with whichever meets your needs the best. (Hint: it's the spork)
