Saracen Myst: 2014 World Champs Edition
your not wrong there cretin82, its a smart move on shimanos part, but i for one am perfectly happy with 6 bolt, i very rarely remove my rotors so dont need the quickness of centrelock, its getting to be a joke how many standards are in the industry right now!

yeah but the 6 bolt version doesnt have the cooling fins, which sucks, i for one would love to have those rotors in 6 bolt, with the cooling fins and the nice 5 spoke black spider, but as of yet its not happened. shimano are being dicks about it, i dont want a centrelock hub, a lot of people dont.

thats all true, though i would like to also point out that 20mm has more shear strength due to having a larger cross section (even though both axles are hollow) this is extra piece of mind in my book

yeah but why did they even invent 15mm? its like 20mm was there, and it was pretty decent. then some company came along ans said "hmmm, how can we make ours different?" dont make it different, make it the fucking same! you should have to go and buy a reducer just do you can enjoy a less stiff fork. this fork still looks awesome, i just wish it had a proper axle

see thats the thing inked up metalhead (smilar names going on above this) its ALMOST the same stiffnes and strength. so yeah why provide data stating that 20mm is the best when you literally just said it was yourself? you know how you can run any axle with your conversion kit? thats a 20mm hub, thats why, you cant convert the other way round. so the weight difference is moot, your axle may be lighter but your hub is now heavier. why bother? just use 20mm and be done with it. its stiffer and more universal. job done.

mentalhead, i agree, they are really shooting themselves in the foot here, im not going to piss around replacing bits to make something fit, im not made of money! i just buy the stuff that actually works on my bike. no way am i buying a new hub, then lacing up new spokes to make a new wheel just so i can run a nancy boys fork axle. fuck that, i'd buy a 20mm anyday, because i know i can sell that shit later, or if needs be i can use pretty much any other wheel

its easy to get "meh" about forks, every manufacturer is the best in town. for me, if it looks cooler than everyone elses, its got decent travel amd it doesnt break then itl do. adjustability is cool as well. but to be honest who actually adjusts that shit? ive got a boxxer team and if im honest, i got the manual out once, i adjusted it and then literally never touched the dials again, the 2 bottom dials fell off, didnt really affect my life at all. it all feels the same to me.

i dont think anyone can feel a difference to be honest, at least you shouldnt be able to, if you can then theres something seriously wrong! haha! i think annimax is reffering to the fact that 15mm sucks ass because you have to dick around buying hubs with a 15mm axle. everyone is running 20mm, only penises run 15mm :p haha! i'm just kidding ;)
