Fair point. Forgot the 29 caperI don't think 51mm has really been a thing in 27.5 for a while has it? 27.5 forks in RS have been 42 or 46 primarily, with 37mm added more recently.
29er stuff more 44/51.

There's always someone who has to bring logic into it. It was definitely the reason on my last 29er then...I don't think 51mm has really been a thing in 27.5 for a while has it? 27.5 forks in RS have been 42 or 46 primarily, with 37mm added more recently.

You will have geoblocking issues in most places unless you have ways around it and a freight forwarder.Of course, can't find a 44 in stock farkin anywhere.
Looked at Pushy's, MTB Direct & Cyclinic. Any other Australian based retailers I could hit up? (Been a while since I shopped for parts anywhere else than Wiggle/Chain Reaction). Folks talk of ze Germans, is that somewhere I should be looking too?
Offset doesn't change HTA, it changes trail. The larger the offset, the smaller the trail and the sharper the steering, which you could also achieve with a steeper HTA. Also, bigger wheels increase trail which is why 29er forks generally have larger offsets, in order to compensate and peg back the trail.I don't know anything but I reckon it will depend on head tube angle. Steeper head tube for me washes out easily, more pronounced as the wheels get bigger dia. More offset effectively slackens HTA. If you have a slack bike stick with 40 or so offsets.
Hence the use of the word effective.Offset doesn't change HTA, it changes trail.

Don't hold your breath type of tease.I could be teased. How teasy are we talking?
All I took away from that was:Fork offset: what is it and how does it affect your riding? - MBR
There's lots of talk and chin-stroking about fork offset amongst the MTB illuminati at the mo. What is it? Should you know what your current forkset is?www.mbr.co.uk
Conceptualising this whole caper does my head in...
#26isdeadAll I took away from that was:
"No one really knows which is better"
What were we talking about again?Don't hold your breath type of tease.
Choke porn.What were we talking about again?
Its worrying that thats the thing that came to your mind...Choke porn.

That is more worrying.*It’s

Except it effectively steepens rather than slackens HTA.Hence the use of the word effective.
So I got it arse backwards.Except it effectively steepens rather than slackens HTA.
It’s alright. He works with kids.Its worrying that thats the thing that came to your mind...
