Surprisingly good actually. They where great for long rides across the moors and laps of dalby. Techy stuff was hard at first but second time out I just got used to it.

I did find them hard work on steep descents though.

just seen your FS post duckman. I'd think you'd be very surprised with the ride of the swift forks. I tried a few forks, niner/white bros and even an enabler with fat tyre and the original fork. The original fork always won hands done for comfort and handling (2.35 tyres helped the comfort too). I think quiet a few swift owners will probably agree.

Yup, I've tried carbon ones but the Singular ones rock - cause they match the frame colour ๐Ÿ˜†

Fit a large'ish volume tyre (2.25-2.4) and its a good as a suspension set up.

Carbon ones didnt work, no offset, no feedback.

Steel is real !

I must admit I would be trying out the copper ones for the above reason Bunners...Also James has given me food for thought with drops as I will be doing the sort of riding you describe above in the Highlands.
