Do you notice a difference when riding forks that have different offsets?
Longer trail gives you a more stable bike at speeds, but also a sluggish steerer. A short trail gives you that quick handling feel but the bike might be a bit twitchier at speeds.
Just like a slight variation in head angle, chaning the Trail by a few millimeters really affects the bike's handling characteristics.
what is the norm for DH? anyone know? slack (rake) head angle with short trail better? steeper head angle with longer trail?
