[#12399507]

looking to replace the forks on my old 2013 scale. have been googling but can't find the offset, is there an easy way to work out, does it make a noticeable difference?

bike spec here:

Looks like a 51mm offset there

Seems a safe assumption on a 2013 Scale anyway.

Is this so you can replace like-for-like?

Unless the bike is particularly short for you, it's unlikely to matter much if you get a shorter offset - and you may prefer it.

yes looking for a 100mm 29er fork to replace the fox. I figure if I use c2w it won't a be a huge chunk more than a full service for a new reba. and I can pay monthly.

thanks guys

Easiest way I've found is to pop the fork out and do something like this: https://www.bikecad.ca/measuring_fork_rake
