So is it worth the £150 from Mojo? on a set of 140mm RLs
Definitely! I changed the lowers on my 2 year old TALAS 32 RLCs, and they track nearly as well as my TALAS 36 RC2s. Given the current price of new forks (5 x the rate of inflation?!), I think it's a no brainer!
I'd say not! 150quid could be better spent. I have 08 talas with normal QR on my Orange 5 SE and 09 Float QR15 on my Marin Rocky Ridge. If I fasten the qr up really tight, I don't notice any difference.
If there's absolutely nothing else you need then consider it, but if I had that money spare, new fork lowers would be a long way down the list.
I've got 120 QR RLs and 140 15mm RLCs and don't think the axle offers anything more than additional 'security'. Not worth £150. A bigger headtube or proper 20mm is the only thing that makes a real difference to fork stiffness.
Can you not get a 9mm bolt through front hub? Hope now make a conversion kit for their Pro2s and Specialized Stout 9mm axles are available. Cost me £30ish and made a big difference over qr
I'd say No.
I had 2007 32 Vanilla R's which i rebuilt with 15QR lowers and whilst they were abit stiffer than the old 9mm QR lowers i would have to say the difference wasn't massive IMO, and certainly not worth the trouble/cost.
However, i now run Rockshox Revelations (I sold the brand new, unridden Floats on my Orange 5 and bought 2009 Revs and an XT cassette) and these are so much stiffer and there's hardly any difference performance wise.
Spend that cash on something else!
Top one lads!
Ive just coverted to 9mm QR for the last 3 ride and noticed the difference,
so thought i would ask the question, £30 is worth it £150 is not!
Can you post any links for 9mm QR Skewers.
Thanks 8)

Thats the QR from CRC
Do these fit normal QR fork drop outs?
yep
