    (As above to be fitted to a 2Souls QH)

    About to hit the button on a pair of these 🙂

    What is the reason for choosing the 51mm offset version?

    I was all set to buy the standard offset….

    Your input would be appreciated, as I’m going to order the forks on Friday – Christmas present to self! 🙂

    Thanks in advance,

    Alan.

    Not technically minded but is it not to do with the steerer angle, I thought the 51mm version would give a more nimble/lighter steering feel.The greater the offset number might recreate the steering feel you get from a 26″ ride.
    Could be wrong though!

    This might help

    Thread I started is the one at the top. Never did get a definitive answer but I’m very happy with my 51mm Pikes and they got good feedback in a ST mag 29er review a while back so I’d recommend them

    I see the decision is made! Have you contacted 2souls yet? They’re a micro brand and manufacture on small batch runs. Its unlikely that you’ll get one off the shelf unless your timing is fortunate.

    A bit more time researching tonight then…..

    Scienceofficer:

    You are indeed correct – I just paid for the frame this morning.

    I was fortunate enough to get the very last ceramic coated in XL! 🙂

    Google G2 geometry, plenty about it online from Trek/Gary Fisher etc.
