Is thru axle better? I've never ridden it so have no idea. TA+Flat mount+brexit tax does seem to have added about 2-300 pounds to the price of steel frames over the past few years, which I can see irritating a lot of people, I guess especially road cyclists who seem set to gain the least from it.
Probably needed to happen the way the industry is going though.
Nice to see thru axles, and the ever fashionable purple, but I think I'll wait until the next big industry change to cage mount standards, from the current 64mm spacing to 52.5mm spaced oval-press-stud-magmounts™ before I upgrade framesets
