so on my new build i have been debating over 20mm vs normal lowers on my fork and varying hub choices, stiffness, clean factor etc.
the fork will be either my current 4x or a new one, shaved tabs and matched to the frame and other parts. I am trying to build this bike up as light as possible without sacrificing durability too much. I think a set of qr lowers with a nice smooth bmx front hub w/ ti flush mount bots would look killer but i am concerned about strength and stiffness. i ride pretty hard, but for the most part i stay off the front of my bike (a few nose manuals here and there, pretty dialed) and don't do foot jams at all.
So what do you guys think? Is it worth the weight savings (if there are any??) and do you think i will notice a decrease in stiffness? Finally if i do go this route, whats a super light front hub? Thanks guys and happy new years
