Forks arrived today. Very pleased. They are incredibly stiff and light. No flex with gentle squeezing.
Postage time was brilliant from the producer but Parcel Force/HM Revenue are a joke. It took 4 days to hit our shores and then 12 days to reach me!
HM Revenues and customs took a lovely £23.65 on a product market at little over the same value.
The axle is brilliant. Was a nice surprise. I was expecting a solid axle with a nut, but no! It’s a direct copy of the shimano through axle.
The proportions of the fork are crazy. The legs are huge and the crown dwarfs the tapered steerer. Yes, thats tapered! Very light. Kitchen scales indicate 700g. Once the axle is in the fork has absolutely no flex at all. The steerer is plenty long but doesn’t come with a carbon bung. Face brake mounts which are nicely built up too.
Photos once they’ve been installed and a mini review once ridden.
Big thanks to Hellen at XMIPlay!
