When I had about 94mm of trail on my Seeley 850, the bike felt fine, but a handling problem came from nowhere and tried to bite me. With 106mm of trail - the bike did not try to stay vertical as I braked, but I did not notice any other difference. However when I race, I always try to accelerate earlier when coming out of corners. That was when I found a major difference. I am fairly certain, I can brake before corners, and accelerate flat-out all the way around them. With my bike, power delivery is very smooth. The last time I raced, I was accelerating from just inside the corners. The speed differential in corners when compared with other bikes seemed dangerous, but probably wasn't. My bike turned much tighter, the other guys were all out wider.When I first started racing, I would never have noticed the difference.
