Trail and Caster

Have any of you played with varying the trail independant of caster? In other words, the spindle doesnt have to be in line of the upper and lower BJ's. Hence moving the spindle forward would reduce the effective trail irrespective of the caster.

TIA, rt

a good and true point, however most people use 2nd hand hubs and as such cant easily move the spindle back and forth.

there was a thread recently where castor and trail were discussed, but it was off topic and i cant remember where it started!

Yes Joel is right....and it was me that first mentioned varying trail as opposed to caster within this thread..
