This is all very interesting. We got 3+" of rain today or I'd be out verifying instead of typing to you all on my cell phone from my garage... Yeah the fork feels crazy supple, first impressions were as flexi as the Crust canti Lighting bolt fork. Anyhow, I think it's marvelous and can't wait to put it thru the paces. Hopefully I'll get out for a proper ride tomorrow but this fork is as spoke and nimble with 700x28s as the LB with 650x48s, at least initial impressions. ~R
