2 options, run a clamp for the shifter and the brake seperate

Or you can combine them onto the one clamp, with a problemsolver.

Hi guys,

I see some demo mullet with the Ohlins DH38 fork but the offset setting seems quite "big" to me.
On the Ohlins website they take into account the front wheel is a 29 so they advise to take the 58 mm offset option.
I have the impression that the setting on Bruni and Finn Iles are the 46 mm .
Does anyone as advise for it as it make huge difference to me.
I'm also struggle to decide the frame size to choose as I'm 5'7 and the S3 with shorten reach could be and option or a S2.

thanks for your advice.
Gilles

Has anyone had any luck on finding a derailleur hanger for the 2017-2019 Demo 8s?
