Hey guys,
Looking at changing to a 29" bike at the end of the season (spesh enduro 29) as it's cheaper for me to buy a new frame while overseas - figured I may as well benefit from it as I wouldn't be able to afford such a frame in the UK.
The frame I'm looking at is based around a 46mm offset and my current fork (180mm travel Fox 36, 27.5") has a 44mm offset according to fox website when I put the 4-digit code in, so I figured 2mm difference is pretty negligible if I can make it work, considering the prices of Forks these days (and the frame is going to cost me an arm and a leg) and how everyone moans that 29" forks have too much (51mm+) offset anyways.
Was either going to look at buying some new lower legs, or just running a 29" wheel in my current ones and restricting the travel down to 170.
Has anyone had any experience in doing this and if so, how did you get on?
Ideally new lowers would be nice as the fork could do with a full service and a bit of love.
Cheers
