I've shortened the top linkage by 10mm. Distance from bottom linkage pivot to axle was 15". From Bottom pivot to top was 6" so a 10mm shortening would give, by simple multiplication, a 25mm increase in offset. It seems to have worked a treat. The bike now feels good. The riding position has gone from extreme cross country to trail and suits me far better. I'm finding the steering is flopping to the left if I take my hands off. I don't suppose my alignment is quite right and I think the problem is crabbing. The 2 wheels are slightly misaligned so I'm moving the front to the left with spoke tension. It really is riding very well apart from this turning left thing. Fortunately it happens at a standstill so I can keep realigning the wheel until I'm happy. After a cup of Earl Grey (seriously) I'll be back on it.
