i bought some 4za python forks for my bikes, and there has been a change in them.
the brake bosses are not screwed directly into the fork, but maybe 5 mm further away. it's hard to explain, but clearly visible if you see a fork.
while this has no difference tecnical-wise(no feelable increase in stiffnes or braking, it's maybe more durable, although the only thiing that has never caused any problems at ridley were the forks. last year's were 398 grams uncut, my new ones are 440.
other difference is that the alloy dropouts come without those little pieces that prevent the front wheel from falling out when the qr is open, so you don't have to file them away anymore.
