Scrod,
Is there any significant difference between MKS Urban Platforms and White Industries Urban Platform that would justify paying 4x the amount for them? I understand that White industries are american made and machined but other than that they seem identical. MKS is aparently lighter as well.

Yeah, having options is terrible. Everyone get off my spoon and do what FixedDriveJess does.

There was a thread here a long time ago where people explained their usernames. If you can find it, I'll mail you a cookie.

After that, how much should I tighten the front axle nuts on this fork with carbon dropouts. Everything else I have has aluminium inserts. Thanks.
