I'm in the market for new forks, and am trying to get a handle on what offset I'm after. Shouldn't be that big of a deal.
The last forks I rode were the original Fit Shiv's.
I know the Shiv II's came in 30mm offset, but I don't know if that still applies to the original Shiv's. I've had people tell me they were anything from 33mm to 30mm.
So, what offset did the origiinal Fit Shiv Forks come in? Thanks.

Google searching gave me a majority of 30mm answers, only saw one 32mm answer. So I would assume 30mm is correct.
Even so, you'll never notice that small a difference so either way you'd be fine.

a lot of them i found that said 30mm were actually the shiv 2 (depsite not noting it) as i could tell from the stickers. anyhow, thank you for your help and googling, it's probably 30mm

30-33 offset isn't really noticeable
Just get normal offset forks

All the ones that said 30mm were old forum posts on here or bmx-forum from like 2009, the Shiv 2's weren't out then so I'm certain they meant Shiv 1's.

How would it feel with a 75 HT and a 25mm offset compared to the same HT with a 32 offset ? /threadjack

It would feel steeper
