offset vs zero offset

[MrScoot]

Offset or zero offset forks and why?

 

[Hunter Treviranus]

offset because they arent gay

 

[Bobby R]

I like zero offset only because i don't have to turn my bars around all the time to do footjams.

 

[Trevor]

zero offset are better for footjams if you dont ride your fork backwards ,but i perssonally like offset

 

[Dewey]

0 offset also better for nosemanual, nose tricks

 

[MrScoot]

bump

sorry to sound like a noob but whats the difference?

I like zero offset. Less stability, but easier to maneuver.

from what i understand a zero offset fork keeps the wheel right under your bars for easier nose manuals and footjams where as a normal 10mm offset fork is more comfortable to ride.

oh so with offset theres more space between the top of the fork and the wheel?

I ride offset but I'd prefer to ride zero offset just because i find nose tricks real difficult.

offset, it looks better and feels better.

just my opinion though

I run my forks backwards not because I'm a footjam whore or anything, just because I think it feels better, would zero offset give the same feeling?

thats -offset so zero offset is somewhere in between. i prefer 0 offset but there isnt all that much difference its like 1cm

offset forsure. but 0 offset is still a lot better than riding your forks backwards
