And the ...Wow, I love the new BSNYC retrogrouchery. And the me-too peanut gallery. I don't have any opinion on the bikeradar editorial staff, but thru-axles (or 9mm thru-bolts) offer very perceivable improvement in front-end stiffness. I notice it every time I climb a hill or stand on the pedals. Why wouldn't I choose a thru-axle system? Maybe a little "don't knock it until you've tried it" advice is in order here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-32482894136205964212014-02-21T09:40:03.205-05:002014-02-21T09:40:03.205-05:00Has nobody seen fit to point out that you don'...Has nobody seen fit to point out that you don't need a new fork to switch to a thru axle? front qr axles are 9mm. So are 9mm thru axles. So no new fork and new frame, not because of the 9mm thru axle. It's a clever retrofit and can help stiffen things up. Definitely thinking about going this route whenever I build a new mtb wheel. A 10mm thru axle can be used in the rear, also without changing anything but the hub.<br />-DPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-80406314715628926342014-02-20T15:27:30.752-05:002014-02-20T15:27:30.752-05:00I dunno, Snob.
