I sawpped out my Yari for a Lyrik ulti and love it. The offset on it is 42mm and wanted to go back to 44mm but don't have my Yari anymore to swap out the lowers. Anyone have a spare Yari they'd be willing to let go?
Do you really notice the 2mm offset difference? Genuine questionThe offset on it is 42mm and wanted to go back to 44mm
You can buy every part separately.you can buy the uppers separately?

Increasing offset from 42mm to 44mm has the same effect as reducing the "trail" dimension which will make the bike less stable (or more responsive - whatever floats your boat).
Another way to reduce trail is to increase the head angle.
Maybe an adjustable angle head set will work for you.
You will need to do some sums or draw it out to see what will work for you. I have never used an adjustable head set so I am out of ideas as to where to go from here.
I found the following link on the topic very helpful.
What Is Fork Offset? And Why Does It Matter? | Singletrack Magazine
I ordered a Decoy Base 29 a few days ago and plan to pull the Yari off before the bike even hits dirt. (Assuming I can get a replacement fork by the time the bike shows up). Message me an offer and I’ll be happy to sell it to you if we can agree on a fair price.I sawpped out my Yari for a Lyrik ulti and love it.

Personally I think you can notice the change in offset, but I also think it depends on the bike in question, and also on how hard you push the bike. I swapped out my Lyrics and went with a 46mm offset on the new works, with the originals being 42mm, and you could feel the difference in how the bike turned, the best way I could describe is that it takes slightly less effort to get the bike over. Its subtle but if you have spent a lot of time on one fork, and then switch offset you will notice it, but obviously there was a bigger gap in offset between my two forks than 2mm.
Or you simply ran one fork with slightly more pressure than the other. Or you pumped them the same but one day was warmer than the other. These factors affects the forks dynamic ride height which in turn affect the almighty “trail” figure that is affecting the turn in you are describing. So a cheaper solution than replacing 44mm to 42mm offset is to add 1 psi to the fork LOL ?.
So you want to buy my stock Yari?been away from my computer to really respond. It's not that I am a pro rider and can feel the proverbial "pea in the mattress". Something is slightly off on my front end and I am just wanting to check all the boxes that is all.
