You wont believe this, they have found a new material and construction method for their forks, one piece magnesium!

If only someone had thought of this before?

In your rush to mock, you've overlooked the most important feature.

They are black.

Utter pish, I'm just trying to work out how I can get one of their hateful RWS axles off Mrs Kings bike. Anyone know how to get these bloody things off?

I wonder if they'll put the arch the other way around next?

You unscrew it.

Rear facing means it is lower, which means it is stiffer and has less material.

This makes sense, so why don't they all do it?

It's no closer to the axle though, so no stiffer.
