Title: 10mm/14mm Fork Drop Outs ???
Post by: jody on August 21, 2008, 07:10 PM

Hi,
Is there any reason why some people run 10mm forks while having 14mm drop outs on their frames. Or is it to do with the weight issues ??? I have also noticed that some complete pro builds have these sizes ;)

 :) 14mm front axles are a bit weighty,plus unless you do a lot of front peg tricks & bend/snap axles then a 10mm is probably up to the job.
