I fail to really understand everyone's fear of the single crown for DH. Failure really just doesn't strike me as a concern, not with todays forks. The only failures I've seen on ANY forks recently has been shattered lowers, which, obviously all forks have.
The ONLY reason I THOUGHT I wanted a DC for was for an integrated stem so I don't have to worry about the bars facing north and south after a crash and so I don't have to worry about the bars spinning around 3 times when I only had enough brake line for 2...
But I just started noticing that most guys with Boxxers, etc still run a standard ol stem anyway, defeating THAT purpose.
But a SC fork that hasn't seen 15 stacks in the same season or any serious wrecks...? What's the fear? Marzocchi has some serious steertube action going on, and now there's even the 1.5 versions.... Strength of a DC with a little diet to boot...what am I not seeing?
