THM is freaking awesome.

It isn't any lighter than a THM Scapula SP Tuned fork and an AX-Lightness Orion caliper, but it is awful badass.

Next step would be to somehow run the brake cable down the steertube. :D

Way out of my league.

More pics?

One more of the Scapula F fork on a Spin:

This is THM's new caliper, the Fibula, which is used in the Scapula F:

Shill

Eat it.

Here is the Spin:

Any ultralight fork would be better named "Clavicle" than "Scapula."

Electronic brakes recessed into the fork for ultimate aero. BAM. Where's my money Shimano?

Buh-dump, CRASH!

Ah, but seriously folks...

how do you adjust them. Would be a ***** to deal with on an everyday basis. A minor crash that causes you to change a front wheel and knock the brakes over would put you out of a race on that bike. ********

It's a cool design and all, but I'm not a fan of light-at-all-costs manufacturing. Maybe it's because I'm a big dude, or prefer to rest my man parts on something other than a slab of clear-coated carbon fiber. Call me old-fashioned.

The integrated brake, though... if that gets worked into a slightly more practical (read:durable) fork, it would be awesome, especially for a TT bike.

There is a barrel adjuster in both pictures of the fork.

Pay attention.

Why are you even thinking of crashing?

The Tune Concorde and AX-Lightness Apollo saddles I own are the most comfortable saddles I've used.

There are weight limits however, which is something that big dudes won't enjoy.

Total weight of that bike? 12 lbs?

11.9 pounds as pictured.

Because I race RACE bikes. **** happens.

Yes there is a barrel adjuster, but anyone who has crashed probably had their brakes knocked out of alignment. A simple push on the caliper puts it in a semi OK position to finish. With parts that are all tucked away, you can't make super quick adjustments lets say on your free lap in a crit after a crash.

I would rather have this. Lighter and probably just as rideable...

Incorrect.

My WW'd Bianchi weighs just a few hundred grams more than that Spin and it has survived everything that it has been subjected to for the last year.

Over 1500KM with plenty of potholes and crap roads without failure or incident.

WW gear also looks exceptionally badass.

Fail...

- No drivetrain (chainrings, cassette, derailleurs, chain)
- No brakes
- No waterbottle holder
- Has a kickstand
- No drop bars
- seatpost has a setforward (as opposed to setback)
- platform pedals

Need I say more?

Jamis has had the integrated brake for a year now. I'm surprised more manufacturers haven't already gone that route.

How much does that fork weigh with the brake and cable?

If it's more than 330 grams uncut, then they need to work on it.

Heh... Yeah but they break too easily :lol:

+1. It's my impression Jamis doesn't get half the respect they deserve.

1500KM in a year? You need to ride more.
