11 hoursEXT ERA V2 170mm
$1300 CADEXT ERA V2 170mm fork
7.25in steer tube
Includes EXT branded fender
Can include RRP ProGuard fender (bolt on), but this fender is too long for the local shuttle trailer service (AB66) and will get smushed on their rack.
Used less than 1 season. Had an oil change + seal replacement at Inside Line (Fall 2022) due to leaking seal. Has run perfectly since. Will consider trading for another top end single crown fork.

Pinkbike Poll: Clipless vs Flat - What's Your Pedal Preference?
@dancingwithmyself: I've certainly had some bad clipped-in crashes, and also some of my worst wrecks on flats - this is not a risk free sport we do. Riding with flats can and does inspire confidence, and certainly made me a better rider and now I corner with less fear. Clips are undoubtedly faster and I've always been a better rider clipped in, therefore I'm back on them now with more confidence than before. Better to be pedal agnostic over the years, but choose your favorite when it matters.

Pinkbike Poll: Clipless vs Flat - What's Your Pedal Preference?
@dancingwithmyself: it's also ok to not care at a certain point and stick with whatever you're significantly better at. There's really no slop in a proper enduro or DH clip i.e. setup flat shoe + Mallet. This "feedback" you describe, if you mean suspension feedback tossing feet off the pedals in steep terrain while braking, well yea that's a feature of flats. Clips eliminate that.

Pinkbike Poll: Clipless vs Flat - What's Your Pedal Preference?
Recently switched back to clipless and I am "one with the bike again". Supposed bad habits or not, it's much easier to toss the rear wheel around anytime and anywhere you want it clipped in, and definitely easier to blast through the rough stuff staying on (in) the pedals. Still enjoyed flats.
