Fork Geometry
A: Steerer Length: 180mm
This steer tube is about 20mm taller than average. A tall steer tube will make the bars feel taller and the bike easier to pull back for high hops.
B: Offset: 25mm
This is a short offset, designed for a snappy and responsive feel. Shorter offsets make the bike feel quick in corners and nose manuals are easier to get into.
C: Dropout Size: 10mm
Designed for front wheels with a 10mm front axle. If your front axle is smaller than your rear, its 10mm.
Conclusion
When I built my last custom bike, these were the forks that I wanted because I wanted something with a 25mm offset. However, they were out of stock so I got something else. This geometry is really good for riding that requires a lot of spins and nose tricks.

Writing this book was a huge goal for me. I spent a lot of time creating these 60 pages of goodness. In this book, I talk about how specs can influence your riding. For example…
Did you know how a short chain stay can make spins easier? Or how the reach of a stem can make bars or whips harder?. Check out the book to brush up on your bmx knowledge.
