Front fork parameters

Linkage simulates the geometry changes of the front telescopic fork thus allowing examining the changes that it causes to the whole bike’s geometry parameters (head angle, bottom bracket height, wheelbase).

The axle-to-crown length can be set two ways. Pressing the “set” button will set the value directly, not affecting the head angle, while the “change” button will notice the difference between the current and the new value, and correcting the head angle and wheelbase accordingly.

There are several parameters describing the fork, as shown on this image:

Angle offset is usually zero on all forks so only head angle affects the steering behaviour in this regard.
