When I switched to a new bike with a much shorter offset (51mm -> 37mm, same wheel size), I noticed that it felt “lighter and livelier” to turn the bars, which was useful at slow speeds, but at the same time the higher trail and flop made it lean into turns smoother at high speeds.
It’s a strange feeling and hard to describe.
I would love to test with an angleset and swapping out forks to do back to back runs.
