replacement for the rubbish RST suspension forks on my wifes bike (she never goes on anything rougher than a surfaced fireroad).

Need v brake posts and the idea is to cut some weight off the bike so any other suggestions at a similar weight welcomed. Not looking to spend ‘carbon’ prices and the bike doesn’t get treated with care particularly so metal legs appeal.

No experience of these but you can get On One steel ones cheaper and there is a selection of colours if that affects things!

EDIT: actually there appears only to be white or black!

The on ones are heavy IIRC. Alloy ones not superlight either, but lighter than crap suss forks.

I’d go SH carbon on ebay, £60-70

these Kinesis ones look quite nice;

really not sure about carbon – she tends to throw it around a bit when ‘parking’ etc.

Had a pair of suspension corrected alu ones on my commuter for a couple of years. I really liked them, but changed bike and they are now on my daughters bike, she no problems with the light off roading we do now.

Don’t do it or you will DIE!

this one looks nice.

Cheaper than the kenesis ones too.

thanks for that – it looks a bit ‘spindly’ for her Alu frame though – that’s partly what attracted me to the first ones I posted – they’ve got a bit chunkiness.

ordered the carboncycles one – will see what they’re like on arrival.

Hi , ive got a set on my maxlight and they are excellent, very good for the money, ive also got a set of carbon ones as well ..
