Sorry, Shazaam, but I am not sure I follow your conclusion about the front wheel experiencing higher loads. Certainly, the speeds are higher, but you can carry much more speed on the front with the race setup. Of course, there are many other changes that affect this as well on the race bike, but how does longer wheel base and adjustable trail correlate to higher front wheel loads?
