Think I've read on hear in the past that 10mm longer a-c adjusts HT angle by about 1 degree, is that right?
Couldn't find it in the search.

it's more like 18mm, depending on wheelbase
Sheldon has an article on it

I thought about 1 inch in difference made about 1 degree of difference

1in of fork travel does, as a fork should compress 1/4 to 1/3rd of it's travel, so that 1in becomes 3/4 to 2/3in, which is 17-19mm. Hence 18mm.

Ok thanks, the a-c would vary though on the same length travel forks though ie, fox, rockshox etc wouldn't it?

If you know your bike's geometry you can use [url= http://bikegeo.muha.cc/ ]Bikegeo[/url] to play around with different a-c.
