Can't say I've ever ridden a 37mm offset fork. However one of my rides is designed for a 51mm offset, and I have ridden both a 51mm and a 44mm on it (currently has the 44), and I'll be buggered if I can tell the difference.

Yeah as I said this was a mates experience not mine but he was definitely talking about it all the time and he definitely loves it now.

Fork Offset Explained - Does It Really Make A Difference? [Video]

Fork offset is the measured distance from the steering axis to the mounting point of the front wheel. Another thing which has evolved to make bikes work better on even more parts of your ride. In this video, we clear the confusion and take an in-depth look at what fork offset is and how it will...

It depends a bit on the fit of the bike. If it's really long and slack (on the extremes of your sizing range) the longer fork offset may feel a little worse as it'll be a little more prone to 'understeer' (realistically harder to weight the front), but it's still not a massive difference - it's just exagerrating a bike fit issue. I really look it as options for how "quick"/responsive you want your steering to feel. Longer fork offset is more reactive but marginally less stable mid-corner, short fork offset feels slower to react but is more calm mid-corner. But yeah, stem length choice, bike sizing, and riding position will have more effect than just fork offset. Ride it and see, but I'm sure it'll be fine...

Im also committing a mortal sin and putting a non-boost fork on a boost frame. I'm sure ill go to hell for such a transgression, but tightarsery takes precedence :)

Yep doing the same.
"Makes it go faster because of less boosted frontal area at the front thingy."

Damn, what a ball ache find decent wide rimmed wheels in 15x100... Grrr.

This is looking tempting to change the order too. https://www.srsuntour.us/collection...st-lo-r-pcs-15qlc-27-5?variant=32170253746270

Even worse thought at 51m offset, but at least it means i can find a decent wheelset that adheres to the tightarse build, the shimano MT620 look ok. Ive shimano wheels before and theyre strong enough, just a pain dealing with loose ball bearings.

Yep, saw that later. That would have to be stretching the friendship. Shame I wasn’t paying attention a couple of weeks ago when the durolux was still available.

Screw it, I think I should jsut borrow the fox from the trance until something “correct” turns up.
