Maxle lite with older fork?

Google couldnt help me with this one so here goes.

Would the new maxle lite fit in my -07 Lyrik?

I'm gonna go with yes. I haven't actually done it, but argyles haven't changed and they now come with a maxle lite.

I'm concerned about the qr preload on the threaded side for the older version maxle vs the new non-preload. Is that there to put pressure on the fork for durability or just to secure the lever?

works just fine :)

I have no shame in admitting my Pike 454 air u-turn had the "old maxle"

a 2010 Specialized bike (Pitch Pro) turned up in our shop with the Maxle Lite in the newer Pike

I thought (customer will never know..) and swapped the Maxles ;)
