So the fork on my new touring bike is going to be with 15mm thru axle, we can change it to 12mm if absolutlely necessary as the fork is yet to be made.
The SON dynamo hub I have my heart on only does either 15mm / 6-bolt or 12mm / center lock.
I perfer the center lock system for the disc brakes but would dropping the fork compatibility to 12mm to make it compatible with the disc brake system a bit of a stupid move?
What are the disadvantages for a 12mm thru axle for the front? If any?
