its supposed to be an inbetween.
Stronger/stiffer than 10mm but lighter/not as stiff as 20mm....pointless if you ask me. plus.. how many 15mm hubs are there out there?0 -
thought shimano and hope did 15mm hubs :?Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10

probably do
haven't really looked myself if i'm honest, it was more of a guess because I thought its just a new gimmic by Fox

Your right, its been done as a bit of a collaboration by fox and shimano.

Yeah, prefer marzocchi and rs before fox though, athough there do seem to be reliability problems with new marzocchis.
Why not look at the marzocchi 4x fork?

yea, those are really good forks but i was thinking of using a frame like a Transition double or Mongoose nugget or something so i would preferably have about 120mm rather than 100, plus i have gone off Marzocchi of late; don't think they can ever live up to their glory days in the early 2000's.0

Get a set of the revelations with the maxle light, marginally heavier as a system, but practically as stiff as full blow maxle.0
