2 Key Takeaways From This Pinkbike Creaky Fork Crown Thing

1: Engineering and manufacturing in the bike industry is hilariously bad.  Press fits should not be a problem at all the way they are in modern mountain bike forks.  If you built your industrial machines, your cars, your trains, your ships, your airplanes like this, anything but bikes pretty much, well, you wouldn't last a second as a going concern.  Most people in the bike industry are useless.  Fox and Rockshox either don't know how to do it properly or are too cheap to do it properly.  Why not both?

2: Dual-crown Zebs and 38s would have been really fucking cool.  A properly designed and manufactured dual crown enduro/all-mountain fork in the 150mm and up range instead of the current Zeb and 38 designs we got would be fucking wicked awesome...
