lightest Fork expander
Moderator: robbosmans
Topcap is standard stuff but the expander is a very slick design a lot more effective than the other units at that weight
I'm pretty sure that EE expander was hiding in plain sight (had it not been for the top cap)!

I've not had dramas with the star 1 and 2 expanders from extralite but the star 3 units I've had a high fail rate with.. Just a step to far IMO

I'm guessing the EE one will work fantastically, but also be hella $$$
Any pic on the scale? Thanks.
The Extralite has been the best for a long time.

I'm happy with my Extralight as well. Saved myself a bit over 50g from the stock version (including bolt and topcap) and I'm happy with how it works (just need to take care with the torque on the topcap).
