The SL8 white paper attached fork is 358g in RTP with 240mm Steerer tube for 56cm frame

So we have quite a variation but I would double check again later pretty sure is will not suddenly jump 60grams though

Anyway my frame is going in next week for a scan

My uncut fork was 360.3g (somewhat good coffee scale ) but i don't remember now if it was with thru axle or not... And the photo i have is rather pointless in that regard

too much discrepancy in weight between the same forks, do they flip a coin before building them? heads or tails?

Re the ztto cassette, I'm running a gen 2 (the one with the biggest cog being alu) 11-34. It works fine. Initially there was a bit of hesitation on the 5-4 "upshift" (going to a harder gear) but it got better over time, and with Wheeltop I was able to dial it all out. It is sensitive to the initial setting of the 11 and b tension.
The comment I would add is that its LOUD. Not horrible, but if you've not used a SRAM one piece cassette before you might think something's up. All of these hollow cnc machined cassettes make significantly more noise than Campy or Shimano.

I didn't weigh my forks as the brake hose was in place and I didn't want to fuss with it, but man those weight differences are disturbing, on the order of 15%. Mine has been ridden enough that I think it would have failed by now if it was underbuilt but I hate being a beta tester.

Ok i think it had to be with the thru axle so it means it was around 333g or so in that case.

Ok the frame inspection is £212gbp!
My tight Irish blood is saying no! 
My sensible head is saying yes!

Well if i want to part with the cash Will have to take it in tomorrow or do I take a risk and save £200
Bit of s quandy end up spending £200 to find out the frame is no good and upset the group potentially.
CoreX88 had there frame inspected after the for failure will ask what inspection was carried out and any update to see how TanTan have been dealing with it

well, I'd not spend the money. Might have just the fork done given the failure, but yours is so heavy that they must have added material, lol.

One question guys, everyone. QC Pass stickers are included in your frames?

[Jouke]

They are probably still on the broken fork without resin

In France some donkey in the government decided that grades were racist or transphobe, so schools now give coloured stickers to students, as if they were retarded, instead of grades.

I have the same faith in these QC stickers on frames.
