I like a stiff front end on a front loader, seems worth experimenting with 1 1/2. Make more sense to me than on a road bike, except for the whole cf fork market moving towards 1 1/2 making it difficult to spec something else as end user
I agree.
Coming from a old Kona P2 with cantis to moderne disc brake fork I definitely feel a lot less flex when I load the rack.
Personally, I like the the HT-fork transition on Sklar bikes.
