Do the Beefier Front Forks Make a Difference on the 14's?
Unlikely, as the top and bottom trees are different, along with the steering bearings, so the frame of the 2014s is probably different to earlier models.
The main benefit of the 2014 forks is not the larger diameter of them IMHO, but the far superior top tree design, which at long last clamps the tops of the fork tubes firmly. Custom Cycle Engineering make a kit that does the same for older 41mm bikes, which should be cheaper than buying entirely new forks, as it uses your current sliders and internals. I have one ready to install!
