Been away from mountain biking for a while, but recently have been attracted back. So I've browsed a couple of magazines to see whats what, and MTBR a couple of months ago had some forks on test.
What surprised me was
1) No manitou on test, are they not imported into the UK anymore?
2) Nearly all the forks (excpet a RockShox) used post-type mounts, and the international standard mount seems to have died out. Why?
I've always tended to use Manitou, so am quite used to the post mount, and always seemed to recall from a few yeasr ago that the mags didn't seem to like post mounts, that IS mounts were the way to go. So what changed????
