The '''steering axis angle''', also called [[caster angle]], is the angle that the steering axis makes with the horizontal or vertical, depending on convention. The '''steering axis''' is the axis about which the steering mechanism (fork, handlebars, front wheel, etc.) pivots. The steering axis angle usually matches the angle of the [[head tube]]. | The '''steering axis angle''', also called [[caster angle]], is the angle that the steering axis makes with the horizontal or vertical, depending on convention.
