Pike was a 20mm? Absolutely had to go thru-axle with the Manitou.
Actually on an R7 right now and once you get over the optics of 32mm stanchions it’s impressively stiff (120mm) between the reverse arch and the Hex-Lock axle.
Hex-Lock, with tool interface on the nut instead of the axle is so clean to use too.
