I was just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of fork offset numbers for the various 29er suspension forks out there today?

1. Reba is 38mm offset right?

2. What about the White Brothers forks?

3. What about the older Zokes that are floating about?

4. What about the new Minutes?

5. The 2008 Fox forks will be 51mm of offset correct?

6. what would be the offset ona converted Lefty?

7. How about the Maverick forks both the single crown and dual crown?

8. Isn't there a Pace/DT swiss suspension fork too?

9. Maybe Spinner as well?

Any others?

Just thought it would be cool to have a thread with some fork numbers for handy reference for fellow 29er Monkeys.

Cheers,

Mark

I'll take a stab at it. My answers are in italics.

1. Reba is 38mm offset right? Yup!
2. What about the White Brothers forks? 43mm
3. What about the older Zokes that are floating about? 43mm
4. What about the new Minutes? 38 and 47mm
5. The 2008 Fox forks will be 51mm of offset correct? Yup!
6. what would be the offset ona converted Lefty? I think it's mid 40's, not sure though.
7. How about the Maverick forks both the single crown and dual crown? 38mm
8. Isn't there a Pace/DT swiss suspension fork too? 38mm
9. Maybe Spinner as well? Haven't heard on theirs yet
Any others? RST @ 45mm, I think. I'll have one soon and I'll post on it.

That's pretty comprehensive right there. Thanks.

Wow GT, thanks!

Just checked my information. The RST will be 43mm and not 45mm. Prices are to be sub $400.00 on these with one having lock out. Air sprung with oil damping. RST is promising much higher quality and great support on this new endeavor of theirs. Also.............they have canti studs!

RST? i dunno.

Hrmmm.........do all WB forks (even the older ones) have that 43mm offset?

If so, I must find one!

 

[Guitar Ted]

Not the old ones, they were 38mm, I believe. The newer Magic forks were when White Brothers made the move to 43mm, and then their were some early Magics that still had 38mm offset. The Dorothy I rode last Fall was a Magic with a 38mm offset.

The Fox forks to go on other bikes than Fishers/Trek will not be 51mm, it seems. Quite possibly 39mm like the Reba?

Rockshox seem to be making 51mm versions for the Subaru/Fisher teams, whcih are sponsored by them. Frames will go to Genesis2 geometry after all.
