I walked past that bike last week at Eurobike in Germany, I should have had a gander! Adding 25mm at the dropouts would have to make the stays flare out as I said and that'll be a nightmare for crank clearance. I'll see if that bike is at Interbike and have a proper look.
Is Roger running a bloody hydraulic disc in that pic...??!!!
Would he just not run a longer axle...?

Wow Dingo, I heard the Renthals were really good, obviously not! Still you haven't experienced flex until you've had a set of Galindo's!

Not sure on my thoughts on the thru axle malarkey yet,would bigger cones on 10mm axles improve stiffness? As for 31.8mm clamping area on bars/stems,is it really something that is change for the sake of it? Sure it`d be strong but most bars are butted/heat-treated these days.Looks like SpeedcoIntenseSinzPromax are all over everything,be nice to see more of other manufacturers BMX stuff....Did one of their frames have a 1 1/8 to 1.5 stepdown headtube???
