Steerer Tube Threading/Compression Bolt Size and Fork Failure
Stoked:
haha yes, sparky's literally keeps 25mm alive

Just a guess, but I would imagine Odyssey and their designers have decided against welding a nut in the steerer as to not add more heat/stress to the area when applying said nut.

Bonedeth, Mutiny, Shadow and Subrosa do all use 25mm...
But so do Colony, Deco, Demolition, FBM, Fly, Kink, Macneil, Premium, Snafu, Stolen, Total, Volume, Verde... (as far as I can tell).

If I remember correctly, Odyssey and Sunday forks used to use M18 bolts and switched more recently to M24. I am curious if this was a result of issues from welding in the steerer (heat/stress, like you say) or if this was a cost saving technique (I imagine welding is more costly than threading?).

statistics will be taken into account as soon as someone actually runs something from one of those brands
