Seems the flange to rotor mounting surface dimension is outside of the forks design spec, which causes the rotor to rub on the brake pad. Sounds like the Hope Pro II works with this fork, any other hubs that you're aware of that are compatibile? Thanks GT,

With my experience with rebas, they will lock all the way with the cable pull and flood gate adjustments. Thanks for great write up. Also, why would fork manufacters not ALL be offering thru axles with their forks for big wheels. I guess it makes too much sense.

Guitar Ted just told us how the bike handles with this fork so getting the geometry numbers with all the offsets, head angles, tires, etc. aren't going to change the results. These numbers can be figured using some fairly simple trigonometry without having to change all the parts. I have been riding a HiFi with a 120mm minute for many months and I love it. I agree that the longer fork unlocks the bike's potential. I still wish that the back end was stiffer but I can't complain about the weight. I have a very modest build on a lg and the bike weighs just under 28lbs and I plan to get that number down to 27 even or just below when I can scrape together the funds to do it.
