Hey Spoon? What’s your problem? Honestly?
And I’m out and off this board for awhile again. |

Does it wound your pride so severely to say "I haven't ridden any" or "I rode X and it sucked"? Questions aren't personal attacks and you don't need to stomp off every time someone asks to clarify why you hold the opinion that you do on a given topic. |

With such a wide range of bike designs, individual physical ability/limitation, and terrains ridden, a quality 40mm suspension fork might be a godsend to someone. 2 people riding the same terrain might want different equipment. 2 people riding different terrain might want different equipment. |

It disgusted me - I would call that a difference in values, not culture. And you clearly were intent on proving me wrong, enough to dig something up that I literally didn’t remember and had spent about 2 minutes thinking about. This board is usually a nice distraction during a hectic day - I don’t need it to be another source of stress. So hence - I avoid you.

Your post is clearly speaking for all(based on saying it was learned decades ago, presumably by the industry) when you flat out declare 40mm of travel is not enough to be useful. As I posted earlier, I am not interested in the fork based on where and how I ride, but I do recognize it could be of interest and value to others based on where and how they ride. I think spoon was pointing out in his response to you that if an elite rider uses the tech, it may be beneficial to some others in certain instances. |

I ride trails like that regularly on a vintage LiteSpeed Blue Ridge with a 1" Alpha Q 'cross fork. Redshift stem, 40mm Panaracer gravel tires, tubeless. As long as I'm not in too much of a hurry, my setup is perfect for the terrain in both photos. I'll slow down to pick my way around the big bumps...if they are frequent, I'd be questioning my choice of bike rather than fork.

My gravel bike has a steel unicrown fork and a 44mm front tire. I ride on dirt roads in the desert and some single track. Sometimes I long for some suspension, especially on the washboard sections, but my bike (Coconino) has a straight steerer.

If it bothered you so much, perhaps getting in your own cutting rejoinder before the lock was a poor choice? |

gosh darn it I really do not like marketing garbage talk.
I wonder how torsional rigidity will be, seems like that is the main problem with inverted designs. The axle is the only thing keeping the two sides pointed in the same direction. Would have been cool if they used a big axle like the maverick fork. Oh well, could be nice I guess.
