Also wondered if they might be a bit stiffer.
Apparently in the wrong plane since oval stays are stiffer vertically and compliant laterally which is kinda the opposite of what you want but hey ho.
Yeah I saw all that on IG but wasn't keen on any of it. I still think I'll only use half of the mtb yoke as it weighs a tonne and didn't see any use for the other stuff. Most of my builds will be for carbon forks also and I'm not at the fork building stage yet.
PhilDAS-
Fair enough.
I really want to get into forks but it’s going to be a leap of faith. Figured, buy a couple crowns while they’re cheap and they’ll encourage me to get on with it.
Was really tempted by the big triplane crown but it was 1 ½” which I’ve not yet dabbled in.

Interested to see how you do use it. I’m thinking of chopping the driveside out of that frame and rebuilding it with an elevated chainstay like the fatbike that got posted in the ratbike thread a couple weeks ago.

Cool.
I had just thought I'd use long taper but then Peter at Ceeway offered me the short taper so I googled a few images and thought the chunkier look was quite nice. Also wondered if they might be a bit stiffer.
@PhilDAS did you see Antii Konga was selling some yokes and stuff via IG? I've bought a twin plate fork crown, a cast crown and a gravel version of the chainstay yoke.
