The biggest problem with hexloc was consumers complete inability to understand how to remove their axle despite being demonstrated live and in front of their face several times. I can't see a company like Fox adopting it because even though it provides superior stiffness at the same weight, customers are too stupid to make it work. Source: the utter misery of selling bikes that came stock with hexloc axles.

Other than the cable ports the front triangle looks literally identical. Credit to taprider on the NSMB forums. Apparently my LBS has them in stock, built, and hidden in the back, but I haven't been down to look.

Was thinking the same thing. Go to your local hardware store and start picking up different sizes of PVC pipe and try to bend them. Skinny PVC will bend like licorice, whereas the big pipes will break before they bend. Diameter makes a really, really big difference. My first mental example was the difference between a 2x4 and a 2x6 when used in a floor or wall (huge, immediately noticeable difference), and that difference is amplified when we're talking about a hollow circular tube instead of a solid piece of lumber. TLDR: stanchion size matters, especially for simple fore/aft braking...

Agree, everything goes out the window when talking DH forks. The torsional stiffness of the 35mm boxxer feels great due to the double crown and 20mm axle and wider set stanchions, but the bending stiffness is arse and it really affects the plushness and steering. They feel a bit shit compared to 38s or 40s when you've put a big old curve in the stanchions in a g-out and totally misaligned the sliding surfaces in the bushings, and wildly fucked with your offset. I had some old boxxers on my Tues and being very long travel and very progressive in...

From PB-"I just found out about the allegations. And I have to say, I’m not shocked. There was always something about him that rubbed me the wrong way, even when he was seeing some success, I wasn’t stoked." You see this is the level of informed discourse we should aspire to on here.

This starts to be a bit of witch hunt. No one knows anything but everyone is already a judge. Maybe time to move on. As posted above, France has a strong law system and if there was a crime committed, it will be prosecuted.

The adverse publicity just from the allegation may have been enough for them to let him go. I would have thought he would've been charged by now if the police (and the prosecution service) believed there was a case, seeing as this goes all the way back to last summer. From what I've seen he hasn't been, although I don't know if laws on confidentiality are different in France to the UK. I say this because a guy I know was falsely accused of rape, was charged and named by the press within a couple of weeks of the accusation...

Upside down forks disagree on torsional stiffness being a benefit... Users of them mostly say it is not a problem. Darren Murphy put it in a good way - how much torque do you actually put on a fork?

The bending stiffness of a tube increases to the fourth power with respect to diameter... Ie bigger tubes are way fucking stiffer than smaller tubes. But steerers are flexy, crowns are flexy, and axle interfaces are flexy. If you put some effort into locking the two tubes together then they work together and will flex together, and this also massively increases stiffness. The keyed axle of the Mattoc or a 20mm axle with four pinchbolts like the old 36, the bulky crown like a lyrik, all help to make the most of their tube stiffness. The flexy modern 36 with...

I hope they get short down to at least Deore level. There is a need for good quality, afordable, short cranks. Sram has listed his SX chainset in 155mm but Im yet to find it for sale anywhere
