Just been looking about the tinternet and found these rather [url= http://info.carboncycles.cc/index.php?s=0&t=0&c=43&p=199& ]sexy looking forks[/url] – so if I get some will I end up a lifeless heap on the trails surrounded by the shattered remains of my single speed

Anybody had any experience of the company or products?

Thought they were pretty much identical to the SSC ones, without the gopping decals, which has to be a result. One of the lads I ride with had one and survived quite happily riding round the peak, until he finally conceeded fully rigid was rubbish (for him :wink:)

Full rigid may be a step too far for me too but as the original RST fork which had 63mm when new, but now only give a very sticky 3mm I thought I’d give it a go

They're absolutely identical to the White Brothers fork which retails for about £160!

I've been using a pair all winter, 5 days a week, 20 mile on/offroad commute. No problems whatsoever. They appear to be very high quality - nicely finished, shiny and light.

MTBR have several reviews of the fork and as far as I recall - all positive.

The singlespeed massive I ride with are currently running 2 pairs of SSC forks and 2 pairs of the Exotics with no issues so far this winter..... for the money they're a bargain.....
