Wooops! Now I seen page 1 towards end. Yes they are fine apart from being Easton lol.

It's called uni directional gloss carbon. It's actually the nicest finish that comes on carbon. Except matt carbon frames.

It's like on my rims.

Well 15mm axles are 15mm axles, take your pick of fork and yes they are worth it.

Imo I miss 20mm, even back in '99 I had a 20mm axle on my do it all bike no word of a lie.

Learn to love the unfinished semi clear coat carbon. My whole bike looks like that.

Uni-directional carbon is stronger [i]IF[/i] you can get the design and analysis spot on so they fibres line up with the forces.

Woven carbon is for when you don't really know what you're doing, and it's heavier too as not all of the fibres will be going the right way so you need more CF ๐Ÿ™‚
