I have some RC41 Fighters on an Ellsworth Moment. They have 20mm axle which is trouble-free - fit and forget sort of thing.

They're a fairly flexy fork compaired to some, so I'd imagine the QR version would be worse. Cracking forks, nice and light, look good and work fairly well.

The launch control/rebound damping knob is crap though - it's impossible to use the LC without knocking the rebound out of position... It's a VERY loose fit.

Also, be careful with the axle to crown height - they're considerably lower than similar travel forks.

Aye. Could probably fix that with a bit of ptfe tape around the adjuster.

RC40s don't have LC tho.

Thanks, I'm interested in trying some with the 20mm axle and prefer the 40s because of the travel adjustment.
Anyone know what the axle to crown height is on the fighters?
