@lovemtb just bought a SC34 Factory FIT4 in a 51mm offset. Crazy clear out at The Bike Zone, something like 40% off. Hadn’t tried a 51mm offset until now so thought I’d give it a shot. In your comments you said something like “no one using a 51mm offset these days” and curious why you said that. Why is that the case? Fork installed on a 2021 Epic Evo setup in ‘high/steep position’. Typical riding for me is more on the XC side.
@LoveMTB 8 ай бұрын
Should be just fine, difference is subtle. On my son’s Epic Evo we use a Sid might get him on a 34SC next year. 51mm offset was meant to help with the poor geometry of the early 29ers to provide a bit more stability, nothing else. These days there is no need for it as the bikes are designed a lot better already.

@@LoveMTB I've ridden it for a month now. I had such low expectations given all the bad reviews on the fit4 damper, and I'd probably be disappointed had I paid $900 for it, but so glad I went with it. Noticeably better than the Rhythm and considerably lighter as well. Well worth the price! Thanks again for the video!

The bearings in my backwheel trashed everything, buying a (cheap ass) new wheel would be saving quite a bit instead of repairing. With that in mind I went searching and came across an awesome deal. Bought a lightweight XC alloy wheelset from Hunt (XC race). About 1550grams MS body included. Amazing discount (and another 50 buck off after singing up for their newsletter). Not only replacing my backwheel, but also replacing the front one and saving a bunch of weight without paying the big bucks.
