To give more clearance? That seems to be the only length available I can find. So why do they have the 465mm version? To give more clearance?

I run 9mm quick release axles. This makes it not so simple to get the front wheel in the right place and makes it necessary to clamp the QR extra tight. Is the Origin 8 the same 10mm drop out size? SInce it's rumored the WB and Origin 8 are the same basic fork. I can tell you the Origin 8 canti bosses mount up just fine on the WB fork. (THANKS G-MAN!!) I am having 10mm to 9mm spacers/shims made to fix this problem. If any one is interested in a pair they are $15.00 delivered in the USA.

While I do not have an "official" answer, I do know that Origin 8 intended that folks should know that the fork would clear a 29"er tire. Why they chose to put the 29"er graphic on there may be for this reason, but it would seem odd to have that there when using it on a 26"er for some riders, perhaps. So, I think there is an intent for you and others to know that, yes indeed, there are two 29"er forks, but one works for 26"ers, (and 650B, for that matter).

It says 29 on it, but I was thinking you had gotten the 26" version. I didn't realize they had two different 29er carbon forks. Is that a picture of the actual product?
