Calfee fork rake
#7834 - 07/01/06 04:35 AM (67.185.76.57)

Can anyone tell me what the rake on a stock fork for a 60CM Luna would be?

The 74* head angle is best paired with a 40mm rake.My 02 was delivered with a 40 Ouzo pro.

The last two forks I bought from Craig were a straight blade Easton. I'd give him a call and discuss your entire situation.

I would, except for the very long '4th' weekend. My LBS has offered me a very hot deal on a new Calfee frame with no fork. I was hoping to get the necessary particulars regarding the fork so I could start putting things together.

If I get this Calfee it will be my fourth. If it works out like I think it may, I might take it with me to Europe for the two month ride from Paris to Istanbul.

What is the head angle on your bikes and rake on your forks?

The bikes are just stock head angles and the forks are straight. The first forks were original Kestrel design which I believe made them a 42. Does that sound right to you Dave? I notice they are 43 now.

I like my straight one but then I liked the Kestrel too. Originally I got the Kestrel forks because we did not have a shop that I trusted to install a carbon steerer or even alloy for that matter. Plus on my Luna the carbon steerer was in its infancy. We now have a world class shop with about 4 electronic high end torque wrenches. They torque everything including cage bolts. I switched to drop some weight on my Fly and then I like the Easton so much I did the same on the Luna since I had a little extra money. Those days are gone now however.
