I've been running Hope Pro 4, J spoke style on my HT Roscoe 8 for almost 4 years now. They have been 100% flawless. I do like the 108 engagement on my Shimano Rail 7 hub. I might do the Hope Pro 5 or some I9 Hydra's next time around.

Yeah, we haven't seen or gotten any 2024 carbon Rails, but I see in the spec sheet what you're saying. It says "1.8" oversize tapered steerer". I must admit ignorance of this new to me standard for a bottom steerer size of 1.8" vs 1.5"...wasn't aware of it. Oh boy...another "standard" to deal with. I see it appears to be an emtb specific issue...I think. Oh well...time marches on...LOL!

The 2022 gen 3 Rail 9.8 were first to have the 1.8" lower headtube diameter. I use the FSA baseplate reducer to run a Fox 38.
I have never been a fan of trek and specialized proprietary suspension designs. C-dale even more so.

Another "standard", bummer.
