After a couple of years away I'm planning on hitting the road hard again this year, and I'm going to dump the old Sub1 fork on my Cannondale R900. It is a 1 1/4 steerer tube, so I need to use an adapter.
I'd like some advice as to the best fork, and setup here. I've seen a couple of different adapters to use a 1 1/8 headset, but is one better than the other? I saw a Cannondale adapter and a generic adapter listed on various websites, does it really make a difference?
Also, I'm looking for a good budget-minded carbon fork for this frame. I'm a pretty big guy, and want something strong an comfy. I've looked at the Kestrel and Profile forks, any recommendations? How are the Performance house brand forks?
Thanks for any and all feedback, I appreciate it.
