I understand that fork offset will effect how a bike steers and handles. But I'm not really sure I understand it.
What difference would a 44mm offset make compared to a 41mm one?
It's for a 26 wheel and the axle to crown height is the same.

Increase offset decreases trail. Assuming everything else stays the same this basically makes turning easier but reduces straight line stability.
Cheers for that
