Has anyone use this fork? What is it like? My current one is a no name and is too slender and flex too much side ways.
Reynolds Ouzo Pro is too pricey for me.
Thanks

I'm getting ready to purchase a fork and I'm leaning towards the Reynolds Ouzo Pro. I'm willing to spend good money on a fork as it's something I don't want to have problems.

Spinner,
Both my road bikes are Kestrels with the carbon EMS forks. I trust Kestrel carbon products over most others. The Kestrel fork blades are a bit beefier then some others, something I prefer. Bikes are very comfortable, snappy / responsive in handling and very stable on fast descents.

Kestrel is alright. The only thing I can really say about them is that their stocker lasted me almost the duration of my riding my Cannondale; I just replaced it over the summer and hadn't had any problems with it at all. The bike's a '98. I wouldn't necessarily say that Kestrel deserves more trust than other carbon manufacturers, though.
If you're patient, you can find some great deals on closeout. If you don't want full carbon and need a 1 1/8" steer tube, I've seen several on sale from the likes of Easton.

anyone hear anything about the Look HSC-4? I'm trying to decide between that and the Reynolds Ouzo Pro (its on the insurance company's bill so I'm looking for something good :) )
