hi guys wondering if you can help me out just been reading the forum I currently have a merida big trail but it came with different spec forks than listed, so I am looking at upgrading them the current ones are 27.5+/29″ 51mm offset boost forks, I am running 27.5 boost wheels with a 2.6 front tyre. should I be looking at replacing the forks with exactly the same as above or will I be ok looking at 27.5 boost forks with a 44mm offset I cant see my self ever running a 29″ wheel in the frame any help would be great cheers guys
There's a thread about the effect of fork offset, here:
My personal experience is that I am unable to tell the difference between 44mm and 51mm offset on a 29er. Whereas the head angle change of just a couple of degrees made a huge difference. Make of that what you will.
Cheers i posted in there as well .
