Anyone have experience, good or bad, with Pantour suspension hubs? I'm thinking about putting one on
the front of a 20" wheel folder instead of a suspension fork. They are a bit expensive, but appear
to be much lighter than suspension forks.

rims in their quest for lightness have small braking tracks, so the small amount of movement in the
hub could be a big deal.

The older 1/2" travel units are fine for rim based brakes.
The newer 1" travel hubs are intended for use with disc brakes.
