I'm personally a fan of the Carbon Cycles Exotic forks. Side by side comparisons next to a White Bros and they were identical in every way. With a 7 inch steerer mine weighed in at 1 lb 11 oz.
I weigh in at 208 lbs, owned the 46.5 cm Carbon version for 6 months and it has handled any technical feature I could throw at it from the Wet East Coast to the dry Colorado Rockies.

I've just ordered my 2nd Carbon Cycles fork, this time in a 42.5 cm aluminum version to keep cost down and I'm interested in feeling the vibration differences in the forks, carbon vs. aluminum . It will go on a 69'd(29er front wheel, 26" rear) Cove HandjobXC built out of Deep Cove, British Columbia. I'll get pictures up as soon as I have it built. I chose the 42.5 cm version to keep the angles approx the same as the bike would be built with a 100mm fork and a 26" front wheel. Check checking back. |

Hey mountain goat,
Thanks for the pics and mini review Would it be possible for you to now do a 2nd minireview of the alu version? I'd be interested in the vibration differences too! Also, a follow up few words on the carbon forks might be nice too... they still go ok?
Cheers,
Chris |
