Cannot decide if its worth paying the extra for the On-One Carbon version?

Has anyone got experience of both?

Any noticable difference in the way they ride?

Ta.

I can't compare with the On-One carbon forks but I can compare the On-One Cromo's to RC31's would should be similar. The cromo forks are fine but they are pretty solid as well as being a lot heavier than the RC31's.

Off-road I definitely prefer the carbon forks but for tarmac use found the cromos fine.

Had both. Carbon is worth the difference.

I found the On-one Cromo to be horribly harsh compared with RC31's. It was comparable with a Kona P2 Jump Fork I've used. I now use Salsa's steel fork which is a lovely thing and very compliant for steel.

The On-one carbon is a bit more heavy duty than something like the RC31, but I've not used it myself. You could take a look at Exotic from Carboncycles if you want something carbon for fewer pennies.
