I have had 3 sets of pace forks (yep I did not lern) strike me that the change of name means same build quality but more polished

Bit of gaffer tape will fix that.

Thats rubbish how much do those things cost?
I'm not sold on this carbon lark, I was reading MBR and the dropouts fell out of a Cannondale carbon frame, again the glue came unstuck, I like welds me!

Yea i know stoner, Oxy does have a fair point though. I got them as a "rolling chassis" Frame , fork and wheels. But on their own these forks are £700!!!!!!

the issue is not with the carbon its with the bonding of one component to another.

I was reading MBR

such a tome of great wisdom to be the basis of evidence for a critique, I'm proud you can read Oxboy

Isn't it the off-camber feature activated by the slope on your driveway?

Never mind the broken forks, I'm confused enough that we have a "stoner" and a "stoney" posting strait after each other. I'm confused.
