Not sure
I just get on with riding it and prob adapt to how it handles
I don't tend to analyse things too much 'cos every corner is different and every trail is different at different speeds.

I went from QR Revelations to 20mm Revelations and did feel a difference, but nothing that actualy affected my riding. After a couple of rides, I stopped being aware of it. Same when I wrnt back to the QR ones.

I can't. swapped between pikes and recons on the same bike - no ohte change, no difference I can feel. I'd rather have 20 mm for wheel security but going to the recons saved 1.5 lbs
assuming you used the same wheel (just switched adapters?) What rim was it?
IMO there's no point having a 20mm fork if you're not using a stiff front rim/wheelbuild. with stiff wheels it's easily noticable (if you're the type of rider that notices things like flex)

So I'm the only one who's managed to get their brake caliper to touch the spokes then ? ๐Ÿ˜•

No, you're not Graham, It's just that I usually find your posts far too dull to reply to.

bolt thrus definately feel a bit stiffer on stuff you want to just plough through but for an all day ride i actually find a qr fork a bit more forgiving.. (both revs)

@beanierripper, that's interesting... I wonder what others think? forgiving set up... that sounds like something that needs to be thought about.
