Come the end of the month (payday) I am going to be buying a cheapish cromo fork for a singlespeed cyclocross budget build (not racing!).
Looking for something with disc compatibility and a decent bit of boing. Trying to build a light bike but willing to sacrifice weight gain in the case of the fork.
Got an aluminium rigid fork onmy MTB – don’t like it.
Can’t afford carbon.
any opinions appreciated (I may regret not adding a caveat to that)
Ride a couple of early 90s bikes with cromo forks and love the feel.
So my question is: Is the Croix de fer fork better than the offerings from on-one? The prices are all £50-60 so that is not an issue. I want the friendliest fork.
It will be ridden lightly offroad.
