Fork height, trail, and rake questions

exactly - I got an alloy steerer, going all weight weeny and getting a full carbon. been offered a very good deal by a mate on the new fork, but it's 44mm rake hence unsure whether to go for it.

no joke, just a simple request for help from an idiot (me) to much wiser people (all of you)

If you can notice 1mm fork rake change then you must have special powers. No, it won't make any difference at all. The axle to crown length may also be different but again you probably couldn't notice it
