Fork upgrade frame geometry help
So I have a Merlin Solis Ti XL 58cm from 2006 and the front fork has a crack in it so I've decided it's upgrade time but I really want to run a 28c tire if I'm buying a new fork. I've got a couple different options but I'm unsure how they might change the geometry or handling of the bike hopefully someone here with more knowledge than me can chime in.
Current fork is a Ritchey with a 43mm offset and Axle to Crown of 367mm.
The fork I want to replace it with is 45mm offset with Axle to Crown of 370mm. How much will this affect my handling?
