2mm increase on the a-c will slacken it off by 0.1 of a degree.
The trail will lower by 5mm which is maybe better for a front load.
I doubt you will really be able to tell a difference and if you did, you will have forgotten after 2 miles.

combine my inbred and Croix de fer.
Interesting - this is what i'm thinking of doing. I've got a 456 Evo II that i'm thinking of selling and then getting a 650 wheel set with the burliest tyres i can fit in my CDF.
I've been doing more and more off-roading on the Genesis to the point where it's only really actual trails with berms and jumps etc that i'd bother using the MTB for.

That looks great - similar to my Inbred. Though I am trying to reduce the number of bikes and combine my inbred and Croix de fer.
On that note...I have a 2015 725 CdF (the one with the carbon fork). I think its 398 mm a-c and 45 mm offset.
The only fork I can find that meets my needs is a replacement fork for the Light Blue Darwin, but its 400 mm a-c and 50 mm offset.
Anyone have any thoughts on how much this will impact handling (I will be sticking a front rack on, loaded for camping)?
