That advantage has already been exploited by many previous single-sided designs without recourse to canting the wheels. The single unique property of the No-Fork project is that it has the steering geometry adjusted to counter the tendency of canted wheels to camber steer into the hedge if left to their own devices. Since riders can already handle this issue when riding on cambered surfaces (i.e. pretty much all roads, as well as velodromes), it's hard to see why the problem needed solving, still less why it was necessary to create the problem is the first place, since every putative advantage of the design has already been exploited in existing 'vertical wheel' designs.
