My 2 cents, but I'd really like to know how the data that led to the change was developed.

...however the forum owners choose to do it is fine with me. I'm only here out of a sense of loyalty to my vast army of social media followers, anyway.

I don't think anyone has responded to them, so they wouldn't be trending. They filter out new threads, I think

Since the new format was imposed, I am unable to upload photo attachments. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I didn't have any problems posting a picture yesterday. I don't think the update should have touched that, but I just noticed the icons at the bottom of each post changed, so maybe they did more than one update. First bike related pic I found on my computer: on edit: why does it have a threaded hole? Never seen that

It appears to be tapped on the other side too. Many crowns are undrilled, so it wouldn't be hard to do this and might be convenient for mounting lights and racks. I think I would file off that raised area.
Not fully brazing the steerer, however, is not that easy for an experienced builder like the one that made this fork. I would love to see it cut apart.

Browsed my device
That was easy.
Edit: Now, unterhausen's photo is scary! I've lived through a failure right there (barely). Gonna pretend I never saw it.

I'll try to remember to test this later and post it in an individual thread if it doesn't work.
