im either gonna be goin with burgards plus 3 arms with 4to1 offset or burgards plus 2 with 3:2 offset. both these setups would come to the same width right bu the plus 3 with the 4:1 offset would have less bumpsteer right. i just got a frame and now gonna be puttin it back together. and next year i plan on racing some mx and some flattrack. nothing too serious as of right now. wich one would be the better setup. oh and there both standard travel also.

I would go with the +3's with the 4/1 offset. It will give you less bumpsteer and it will handle better.

Offset of the wheel has nothing to do with bumpsteer. What you will get with a 4/1 wheel is less steering feedback or leverage against the steering. Go with the 4/1 wheel. You'll definently like the way the steering feels with that offset.

Took the words out of my mouth. Bumpsteer is NOT created from offset wheels! It does give more levarage AGAINST steering though.
