Looks good, but it appears to be the same old keyed washer system even it it does have roller bearings. The threads on my fork are slightly rounded from one and I believe a keyed washer would rip the threads further.

I've also heard roller bearings make riding hands-free difficult (Jobst Brandt?). Any truth to this?
