Can anyone advise on fork offsets please?
My hardtail bike (Sonder Broken Road) currently has a 100mm Reba 29 fork, that I think has 51mm offset. I’m toying with the idea of a rigid carbon 29er fork, the one I’m looking at has a 39mm offset. Am I correct in thinking reducing offset slows the steering response(?).
The carbon fork was designed for this frame, so I was surprised to see such a difference in offset - unless it’s something to do with suspension sag vs rigid(?).
What do the hives geometry experts think?

What length is the rigid fork you're looking at?
