I'd say that will be very much determined by performance benefit (or not) over the 38. If its suppler and has better wheel tracking why would anyone want a 170mm plus 38 IF (and big if) this usd fork can be had for the same price as the current 38. The dual chamber air spring honestly is probably as big of an update as the chassis too. I bet that will find its way to the 38 regardless. Hub wise, like zuestman said above I have no serious concern that the 20mm axle bit will hurt its acceptance at all...

Data acquisition for sure. The spring collar near the eyelet also looks to have more hardware to be bolted on.

He wouldn't have had it at home in AU at all I don't think, it would have been for testing purposes with the team initially and he may not even have one now. The sale of the m16 may have indicated that he was getting an M29 to use over the summer, the sale of an unridden m16 AND 2018...

Jack is currently selling off unridden 2018 Carbine and M16C... Maybe he's got new factory rides on the way, maybe he's off to a new team...

No stress, mixing up terms is probably one of the big reasons people mis diagnose issues with their shocks. Cavitation is probably less common than people think, and as you said, the twin tube design of the x2, makes it almost impossible (or should do in theory), where as aeration is entirely possible if the shock isn't bled properly when rebuilding. If people think they have cavitation then it becomes an involved process to try and eliminate, where as aeration is just the quality of workmanship on the service. If the correct terms are used more often, then people would...

Your definition of cavitation is incorrect. It's not air mixing with suspesion fluid, its suspension fluid vaporizing and causing inconsistent damping, you're describing aeration.
