Soon im buying Burgard a-arms and a C&D shock revalve. I cant decide whether I want to go with +2 a-arms and offset rims, or +3 a-arms and stock offset wheels. Since ill be ordering the wheels soon, I need to decide what would be better...

Someone told me the revalve would work better with the shock revalve... I would also be able to put my stock wheels on so I could go in the woods better...

Would bumpsteer be worse with offset rims?

what offsets are you talking about? cuz 3x2 is stock, and that is also what most offsets are except the 4:1, and the 4:1 is what u'd use on the +3's to keep it under 50 and to lower some bumpsteer

i run +2 arms and 4:1 rims.....handles great.

and its about 48.5 inches wide. (with stock shocks)

so i guess when i get my c/d racing converted shocks.....it will sag more making it a tad more wider.

well them ppl are tellin u wrong and u need to slap them the next time they say that. aight 4:1 is the NARROWEST offset you can get, and 3x2 is STOCK, u can also get a 2x3 which is the WIDEST offset avaible and i have only seen them at moto-man.com i hope this helps you some more man

4/1 is the narrowest, 1/4 is the widest. Get it. +3 with 4/1 will give you the least amount of spindle leverage, which will put more direct weight on your front wheels, and it will lighten your steering a little bit. Resulting in more accurate handling, with a little less twitchyness. It wont be noticeable, between 3/2 and 4/1 but it is the better way to go for MX.
