In bicycles, fork offset is also called fork rake. Road racing bicycle forks have an offset of 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in). [7] The offset may be implemented by curving the forks, adding a perpendicular tab at their lower ends, offsetting the fork blade sockets of the fork crown ahead of the steerer, or by mounting the forks into the crown at an ...
Road racing bicycle forks have an offset of 40–55 mm. [2] For touring bicycles and other designs, the frame's head angle and wheel size must be taken into account when determining offset, and there is a narrow range of acceptable offsets to give good handling characteristics. The general rule is that a slacker head angle requires a fork with ...
Bike steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail. A factor that influences how easy or difficult a bike will be to ride is trail, the distance by which the front wheel ground contact point trails behind the steering axis ground contact point. The steering axis is the axis about which the entire steering mechanism (fork, handlebars, front wheel ...
Front suspension of a race car — the caster angle is formed by the line between upper and lower ball joint An example of a chopper with a raked fork at an extreme caster angle The caster angle [ 1 ] or castor angle [ 2 ] is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered wheel in a car , motorcycle ...
1. "Trail is a function of head angle, fork offset or rake, and wheel size." tends to lead to confusion because of the use of "rake". I suggest that the word either be removed or that the sentence be changed to "On bicycles trail is a function of head angle, fork offset or rake, and wheel size." Done. 2.
A fork end, [1] fork-end, [1] or forkend [2] is a slot in a bicycle frame or bicycle fork where the axle of a bicycle wheel is attached. A dropout is a type of fork end [3] that allows the rear wheel to be removed without first derailing the chain. Track bicycle frames have track fork ends, on which the opening faces rearwards. Because they do ...

standover height, the height of the top tube above the ground. [36] front center, the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the front hub. [37] toe overlap, the amount that the feet can interfere with steering the front wheel. [38] The geometry of the frame depends on the intended use.
