Shimano, Hadley (mmm, I've got a pair on the way). Hadley 15mm's are in the country NOW.
Soba - I'll be on a pair of 15mm's in around 4 weeks. Will let you know.

Shimano, Hadley (mmm, I've got a pair on the way). I believe Hope are in theory compatible, but they've not made the 15m caps yet.

Awesome, cheers!

the maxle is clearly a bottleneck asset over which SRAM holds a monopoly and is extracting monopoly rents to the detriment of consumers. The Comcom needs to kick off a three year investigation that will eventually result in other manufacturers getting regulated access to the maxle system at a price benchmarked aginst the cost of other axle systems from jurisdcitions where axle systems are regulated on a forward looking cost basis.

so I see that the air uturn revelation with 20 mil is 2037 gms (4.49 lbs) and the air uturn pike is 2113 gms (4.7 lbs)
it must be pretty much identical

Pike Air replaced with Revelation 20mm Maxle Light
Pike Coils remain Pikes
Only difference between pikes and revelations was lowers one was 20mm other was qr - so they aren't really getting rid of them - more like a rebranding and changing to maxle light
