I have data that pertains to absolutely nothing here....NOTHING!!!!

Why?
Coz it's the bike industry, facts ain't shit.
I would like to see both versions of a 36 set for my weight at full compression on a testing rig.
From the seat of the pants feel I always thought my forks felt like they were getting weird on decent landings, but it may have been due to uneven spoke angles, off camber trail,my wonky shoulders or my brain just making shit up, coz 20mm.
I still think bigger is better for axle bolts as course threads and short levers give you little clamping force, same with a QR15/20, relying on a little bit of metal stretching or some plastic squashing to hold you lower under tension seems pretty stupid.
My last Marino frame had a fine thread axle bolt and you could really feel that thing getting to work. I like fine threads on clampy stuff, you can get decent clamping force with a multitool, my current frame has a course thread axle bolt and you hardly get anything on it with a regular multitool.
EDIT-
Gonna get me a new Vyron when they come back in to stock, I like the idea of it turning on when you push a button over a motion sensor with no on/off switch like the RS, I also like the sound of it being a bit slower than the Reverb. I got along with the old Vyron okay except for the shitty remote and the rattle.

Yes it feels that it would but what frame has pinch bolt on the rear axlr? And Boxxers left the pinch bolt design since 2008 or 2009. Probably after seing Vouilloz riding a Fox 40 with the arch cut 
Lots of different variables and the contribution of each one depends a lot on the value of others, a statically indeterminate system. Certainly axle diameter is part of it. But clearly it is the most important variable because the bike industry is staffed with idiot engineers from infomercials and a global cabal of lizard managers and they purposely left the best engineering solution on the table to spite you. They will bring it back again in ten years and everyone will complain that they are recycling ideas that didn't work in the first place.
They'll come up with square axles and matching custom bearings for hubs that will also have a new spacing.
Both my Canfields have a pinch bolt on the rear axle.Yes it feels that it would but what frame has pinch bolt on the rear axlr? And Boxxers left the pinch bolt design since 2008 or 2009. Probably after seing Vouilloz riding a Fox 40 with the arch cut
Larger diameter will reduce torsional flex , I assume they are counting on hub flange being pinched to address the smaller shaft...I liked 20mm...
Saw some of this in NDT inspection on a project ...not bike related but smaller shaft had damage and street risers..(stress marks on end)

I presume the rockshox torque caps help with this as a bandaid instead of a 20mm axle.
Those things make a difference hey. I thought they were a bit of a wank, maybe useful as an aid to make wheel insertion easier but there's enough of a difference that I considered taking them off to reduce fatigue on silly long stages
Was rockshox the first one to come out with the 15mm axle? I'd bet on it being so...
I think it was pioneered by Shimano, technically.
Fox, Shimano and Trek actually. I kinda scratched those three brands from my list because of this.
Hey, people, this has a 20mm axle!
(in fact, a few of them)

Oh cool! That 15mm axle is really holding me back from sending all the things. I would have hit all the double black lines if I had a 20. Hell maybe even the triple blacks!
Yeah, totally the reason why I hit all of the Red Bull lines on my 24mm Axle Maverick DUC32!
Because I’m actually George Santos!

Oh wow!
I think the Foes upside down fork had a 30mm axle?!?!
Not sure, but the Specialized (Showa) E150 had a (¡GASP!) 25mm axle!
I've got a 20mm on the 100mm Reba I'm about to list for sale, perfect for your new moped!
Thanks but all my mopeds already have 20mm axles on ‘em. Maybe @rideit needs one?

20mm fork?
I have been really tempted to get one of them.
Sounds flexy.
For Shimano? I am pretty sure this adapter doesn't work with my Hope calipers.
I vote we petition for the results to be scrapped given the Trek and 15mm axle...
that‘s the plan. why shouldn’t it work?
should work
Just need to bleed the back brake (fuck you internal routing), other than that it’s finished up. Hoping to get a rip on it this week since the arctic blast is outta here tomorrow.
