Nice, yeah i've seen them on the Bay for similar, been told they're flexy but i doubt i'd ever notice.
I'll fess up, the main driver is tyre clearance. My 9 easily takes a 30c G-1 on the back and my old Slice premium fork could fit one with relative comfort. Rumour has it the Si fork is made from the same mould as the Slice premium so should have the same clearance. For me personally there's something very appealing about being able to run G-1's as the bike will be used for touring as much as road riding.
