Whyte T-129 Fork Offset

[EST]

I am building up a 2016 T-129 Frame and I bought some Rockshox Yari Boost 29" Fork from CRC. When they arrived I was surprised to find they had a 51mm Offset.
Before installing them I checked with the Whyte frame dealer who said NO Offset is required.
The Frame has a 67deg head angle.

2 questions:
Anyone know what the problem this 51mm Offset will create.
What 29" Forks come with 0mm Offset with Boost 15mm axle and where can I buy them in Aus?

Cheers in advance.

None & nowhere.



All mountain bike suspension forks have an offset.

Cheers Cobba- You have confirmed my confusion on this matter! Whyte put a Fox Float 34 on their factory models which I believe has a 46mm Offset. Do you think 5mm difference will make the bike turn like an oil tanker on the tight stuff?

Cheers- I guess I'm just going to have to fit them and test them out.This will be my 1st and last MTB build. I've had a nightmare with it.

Unless you can try all the offsets one after another, you really won't notice any shortcomings with any of them.. one is slightly better here and the other is slightly better there..
