We all know about the Origin 8 carbon fork. What you may not be aware of is that now there are a couple of options to the first edition. As you can see by the image above provided to us by Origin 8, the crown and drop outs are now available in pearly white in addition to the all black model they have always had. Also, the canti stud mount version has removable mounts. This is cool for those wanting to move their fork to another disc brake bike. (The tabs for the disc caliper are still on the left drop out, International Standard type) What is even more interesting is that you can move the mounts to any posistion you want to on the fork leg to align the cantilever brake to any wheel size. This means that you could run this fork with rim brake 650B wheels, for instance.

Also, the fork is available in two axle to crown measurements. 465mm and 420mm. Both lengths will clear 29″er wheels. This might be a great choice for all you Raliegh XXIX owners out there!
