cs057 fork offset preference?

[danK]

Anyone try a 51mm offset and 46mm offset on the CS057?

I have a SID 100mm with 46 and a Fox 100mm with 51mm. The Fox is a shorter A2C.

Let's say all things being equal (sag, tire, pressure, etc) does the 57 frame ride better with one offset or is it a case of the rider learns to adjust quickly with whatever offset is used.

I have a XFusion Trace 100mm on my -057 and it handles great! I was coming from a Giant 26er FS and was worried about the turning radius as most of my riding is on twisty single track, but i have to say it turns and handles better than my 26er ever did! The 51mm offset seems to handle steep and gnarly descents well. Might be a function of extending the wheelbase a little bit and also getting the large contact patch of the 29er wheel out in front of the frame. I have not yet felt like i'd be going over the handlebars.
