 Specialized has given up on the black stanchions?
  • + 3
flag INS4N3 (Apr 20, 2011 at 4:54)
 The DLC Stanchions were introduced by SRAM/RS not by Specialized, guess they are using the new Keronite(?) version now.
  • + 3
flag Chamakazi (Apr 20, 2011 at 6:39)
 I was referring to Specialized as the whole team, I should have been more specific.

Keronite is a coating for the lowers, not the stanchions, so it wouldn't affect stanchion colour.
  • + 1
flag betterthansx (Apr 20, 2011 at 12:13)
 They were saying the black stanchions were wearing down too quick, and causing a more than wanted amount of heat and friction so they ditched it. It was something new that they wanted to try but didn't work out...whole reason for R&D
