The technology is rapidly coming to us nowadays that there are some Single Crown forks that do there job better than some Triple Clamps. Chewys right, very few manufacturers will back you once you stick a triple on a Hardtail. Same as sticking a 8" rotor on some old forks, you'll screw' em. Don't do it. Remember in the quest for better braking and handling you are passing on all these torsional forces up the forks and into the frame, so hence the need for a decent frame.
