The differences on these two Reynolds forks appear to be weight (probably due to materials) and rake. I understand weight. I don't understand rake. The comp aero has a rake of 43 mm. The pro aero seems to give you choices of 40, 43 and 45 for 700c. Can anyone shed any light on this for me, and/or tell me how rake might affect handling on a 50 or 52 luna pro? Anyone used either of these forks (I think the comp aero may be new).

They know best. I'd try to get Craig. Also if you do a search of this and the old phorum you will find a ton of material on this issue. I'm with you. It is Greek to me.
