I'm considering replacing the fork on my bicycle and I'm trying to determine what effect it will have on handling. Sheldon Brown (the bicycling Guru online) has a formula to determine the new fork's affect on my headtube angle. It's a trig problem and I have no idea how to solve it.
I've entered the relevant numbers into his forumla. I'm guessing it will be a simple problem for a person with a calculator with trig functions Can anyone help me out? Thanks! arcsin [(390 - 403) / (1030)] |

-0.72° if you're using degrees -0.80° if you're using gradians I'm interested in hearing more about this "gradian" A gradian is 1/400th of a circle, where a degree is 1/360th of a circle. No one is disputing that but you expressed the gradian in degrees. Which is it? |
