Hi, i have a a Trek Stache 7 and im looking to upgrade my forks, i want to keep the g2 51mm offset im looking at Rockshox Reba rl solo air 120mm 15mm 29er, can anyone confirm if this fork has a 51mm offset? Ive seen one website that says it is but nowhere else.

I would say it is 46mm."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks Nick, Anyone know if the 5mm would make much difference I've spoken to a few people who say that it won't and a few that say it would, or any suggestion on 51mm offset forks that are available to buy new?as they seem few and far between.0

Might be a bit of a silly question from a newbi but what is offset on the forks ?0

The distance between the centreline of the steerer and the centreline of the front axle when measured perpendicular to the steerer axis. As seen in the drawing below.

29" Reba Solo Air forks can have 51mm offset or 46mm offset.
Look in the Spare Parts Catalogs and you'll see the different CSU's available and the different offsets they have.

You mightn't be able to buy some variations of the fork.
