also, if you do max caster, the steering effort increases ever so slightly, i like it.

draw a line from center of wheel vertically down to the ground. the pivot the front wheel forward. the angle b/n the pivoted front wheel and the vertical line you just drwan is called caster.
or look at a big harley with long front fork and wheel slanted all the way out front and copared that to the "normal" looking ducatti's. the forward slanted harley has MORE caster than the ducatti's.
i know this explanation is most likely beyond poor. someone help me out here.
