Had one (borrowed) on my touring bike for a month. Used for commuting to work on gravel path and old railway line. Really nice, liked it, saving up to buy one.
Thanks for all the feedback from people who have used the fork both good and bad views . I suspect i will probably give some a try, especially after cleaning my 2 month old reba of 12 hour use and already marks on uppers! Reason intetested in this fork is i only ride xc, unlikly to get more than 1 foot of the ground (unless something goes wrong!) And planning to ride bike about 6 to 8 hours a week in all weather. As amazing are normal suspension forks thats a lot of potential required maintenance so it seems this fork for the my intended use could be quite good.
Good call dis40

I think the material has some inherent damping.
Carbon fibre does, but nothing that would be of use for damping a pair of small springs like these.
Basically it will do what a bigger tyre, a very skinny springy fork or an undamped short travel sus fork would do. Over very high frequency low amplitude bumps it could be effective, pros/cons as ever.

Which is pretty much what you get in a lot of Iceland.
I think they look fine on some bikes and wrong on others. I've had a very short play around on one of John Climber's bikes but there was a lot else going on as well: Plus tyres and Jones Loop bars, so a little difficult to isolate things. I have seen one pair break at the crown race, not sure if it was a faulty unit or it had been fitted incorrectly.
JonClimber, are you sponsored by Lauf? I get that impression from your blog.
