I’m going to go out on a limb here and make a bold statement.
There are changes coming to single crown fork interfaces that are a known quantity to those in the industry. I’m basing this purely on speculation, but with recent upgraded (ZEB, 38) long travel forks, I bet there is a need for burlier steer tube, or more pronounced internal butting, or possibly a new 1.8 standard.....
Makes sense for these components manufactures to be ahead of those changes so their tools still work.
I understand a bike mags reluctance to thread a fork, and rely on that system (always changing bikes, or parts, etc). But the original V1 OneUp EDC is so slick, I’d thread a fork any day to keep running this tool.
