Evening all.
As title really. Just received some Exotic Carbon 29er forks and less than impressed if honest. Have had them before and were spot on so wondering tbh if I’m just being picky.
I’ve emailed the company for clarification but curious to hear some other opinions.
I’ll let the pictures do the talking, so hear goes…
Apologies for the links, can’t do it properly on tablet 😳

https://www.flickr.com/gp/e1ys1um/8BGg91 This one shows the race unable to pass the excess metal ridge all the way around. It’s a split hope and still can’t get over. It would definitely need tooling to be right. Am I expecting too much? Never had to touch a steerer beyond cutting.

What do people think? And yes buy cheap etc but I’ve had them before and been fine. Apart from the poorly finished steerer (imo) the csu just seems too big.
Cheers.
