Like it, im planning on building up a pake, just wondering if that fork has a 43mm rake. Hows the handling? Better than the stock 38mm? Im just having trouble finding a carbon composite or better fork with 1 1/8 inch steerer.

Thanks! I believe the fork actually has a 40mm rake. This is the same fork as the Kenesis carbon fork which has a 43mm rake, but the product page for the Forte Axis fork said 40mm, so who knows, haha. You can't really tell much of a difference from the 38mm Pake Track fork. And it handles very well! Very nice for the money.

Thank you! I'm very happy with this (hopefully) final stage of the bike, haha. The black components really just set it off for me. Couldn't be more satisfied with it!

Nice Pake! I am pretty positive im going to buy one of these soon as i get the money. I currently have a EighthInch Scrambler as well that i use for everday use but the only reason i have it is because my Scattante SSR got stolen =(. My scattante had a FORTE AXIS FORK for it and it was a great setup. Im suprised more people dont do the steel/carbon fork, makes it lighter and in my opinion better.

PeDDeR27 says:

Thanks! The Pake is a pretty solid frame, especially for the money. The Forte Axis does soften up the ride quite a bit, too. I love mine. Very light and cheap! But hopefully you get your Pake soon, you'll love it.
