1deg caster = 1/8" or 1/4"?

When moving caster from 3-4deg how much does the wheel center move fore or aft?

Not sure why it isn't working. We should have the new site, domain name and store open the end of February.

You can do the math, measure the radius, that would be the length of the spindle between the center points of the ball joints, multiply that by pi, then divide by 360. That would give, roughly, the linear distance at the top of the spindle, fore or aft, for each degree of caster.

That makes sense. Never thought about it logically..

It will have to wait till I get over the flu and get the measurements done. Maybe next weekend.
