3. How can i calculate the overall caster?
e.g. if i use 5 degree block and one shim on each side, what is the caster?
and how about if i use 0 degree block and 2 shims at the back? \
Thanks and sorry about having so many questions
1. Yes, but the blocks have the biggest effect on the sensitivity.
2. Yes
3. See above reply to polesitter61
One shim back and one shim front gives you 4 degrees of static caster
regardless of which block you have installed.
5 deg block with one shim each side is 4 deg static caster.
0 deg block with 2 shims back will be 6 deg static caster.
