isitafox Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 The stem I've got is fine, just want some new forks to pull the wheelbase in slightly and so I can remove the steerer extension I've got fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Wheelbase won't affect how the bike rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Actually thinking about it it will and I've realised I don't want less rake as that would put the bars further over the front axle, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 No because headtube angle is still the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 What do you want to achieve? As in, what's wrong with the ride at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Running a steerer extension at the moment as the forks I bought had been cut down so I just want some new forks with an uncut steerer for my own piece of mind. Just thought if I get new forks I'll get the stem anodised black and get a single spacer to run under the stem sorted. No because headtube angle is still the same The headtube angles the same but with less rake the axle is further back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Will 10mm really make a difference just with the front end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
