    I forgot to mention fork strength earlier - some road forks will have to be beefed up to cope with disc brake stresses. The left leg sees quite a strong rearward force under braking, and you also have a downwards reaction force at the axle. So much so that the left leg can bend backwards noticably, twisting the wheel with skinny forks. I imagine the ultralight road racing forks will go up in weight a little. MTB forks are starting to use assymetrical designs now.

    The Volagi fork is a slightly deeper section than the Scott CR1 but you'd do well to spot it
