For me, I always wish I could just easily customize parts with the snap of my fingers,and the one part that takes the most effort un thinking of is the fork. There are so many forks out there with crazy ideas and names that's I just can't seem to find an idea. What dream fork would you want ? Specs and all

1 solid piece of steel, the legs kinda like smx'es but 0 offset and thinner, and i'd want the fork bit not to be centered on the tube but facing 10 m forward, probably a weak design but mehh

to suit wheels upto 125 m and a 4 m thick tube

zero offset like inwards but with cutouts in the side and dropouts. so basically and inward/addict hybrid. as well it has to be compatable with any pegs

my dream fork would be 1 piece steel and REALLY bulky except fot the fromt where there is a cutout for footjams kinda like trilogy forks, and it would have a hex hole like sacrafice forks, would have hundreds of well placed holes and cutouts, would have forktube cutouts like addict and would have a starnut with massive threads in it so that it wouldnt strip and ics bolt could pass through it, and it'd come with a heat treated graphite axle and compression bolt and starnut

another idea that might be kool? having the bit where the crown race attaches lined with thick rubber so when you land it absorbs a little bit of the impact? and also makes it easy to remove and install crown races? it sounds dumb but if you used even 5 mm of perfect hardness rubber and did a legit job it would absorb ALOT of impact and wouldnt be fully compacted by the compression but would be springey enough to keep the scoot dialled........ that is such a good idea! who understands what i'm talking about?
