Re: Does the front end become lower when you trade 43rake for a 50rake fork?

It's not really a significant point. It would be easy to manufacture carbon forks where
the brake hole to axle distance can be consistent for different rake forks even if axle to crown is not.
The best post here is Curt's... the reality is that manufacturing tolerances varies more than the amount we're talking about.
If Zank had posted the numbers earlier, and not Marks string of formulas, it would have been clear, at least to me,
what's going on.
As to the other stuff you wrote, I look at it differently. To compare two different designs,
you need to measure the same thing, the same way. People compare bike chainstay length
from model to model all the time, and don't consider BB height in the equation,
they take the numbers from the geo charts.
