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.
