The GripNut design incorporates a threaded collet that firmly clamps the fork threads for increased holding power. This design is also good for heavy touring loads, forks with damaged or undersized threads, and forks that have been cut too short.

Strengths: Ease of set-up and installation. Extremely durable. Smooth over the long haul.
Weaknesses: Grip nut is a bit tricky, especially if you're used to 2 nut systems. $$$ of course - it's expensive - it's King.
Bottom Line:
6 years old and counting - perfect condition. It's going to be moved to my Pinarello road bike as the Land Shark is being replaced by a Turner XCE. It will live on forever.A 20 year PLUS product.
